After a frustrating week of not getting anything done (ended up working late two nites! and finished off a metal folder the other 3 nights), and not having power for thursday and friday nights, i made some progress today!
Got (hopefully) all my steel for my chassis, 25x25mm RHS, and 20x20mm RHS, and bought a 8x4ft sheet of 12mm plywood, and a few lenghts of 2x3" framing wood.
I ended up getting 25x25x2mm RHS which i hope wont add too much weight compared with the 1.6mm listed in the haynes book. Should give it more strength as a positive! What did you guys/girls end up using?
A few hours later and a quick coat of white matt paint, my build platform was complete!
I did what probably most of you guys did, by framing round the outside, and then putting a cross in the middle, and decided to put 26" legs on it, to bring it up to a comfortable working height.
Ready to get started marking out and cutting and tacking up the basic frame tomorrow.
Thought id share a few pics of my garage, and a few of my "toys"!
