Today's efforts were directed towards making a clothes-rail for a dwarf (I have mentioned that I am a bit "short" I think).
Yes, I could have bought one on Ama-Bay or E-zon. But if you have a welder, why not make your own?
Not the best welding in the world, but adequate, I think.
The actual "bar" is 1" tube with 1/8" wall. The frame is made from rectangular tube.
Interestingly, when you turn it upside-down and bolt/screw it to the rafter of your garage/workshop you can do "pull-up's" on it as part of your "getting fitter" efforts.

Good evening.
Back home after a nice dirty weekend away.
Busy weekend as the door fell off & repaired .
Water pump on V8 blew its bearings. Lucky they found a shop open on a Sunday with the part on the shelf. Doris took the chap to collect & became his spanner monkey.
Once fixed he met us to complete the day green laning.
The joys of not having a tent to pack away. Put the back of the lorry up & go home.
Happy bank holiday

Morning All
Nice and bright here with just a coolness to the air.
Morning start the day chores are all done.
No surprises from the Cat this morning.
Nasty ache in my false hip for some weird reason (too much time on my feet yesterday, I think).
Never mind, I got my pull-up bar made.

As it's such a nice day I think I'll dust off the motorbike and take it out for a sight-seeing trip around me Island.
It won't take long
