You never know when they will come in handy Paul

Morning chaps. With the arrival of Project Zero-ish turn the time has come (and much over due it is too) to make some more working space in the shack! As you can see it's a bit of a mess! These are the least disturbing photo's As you know the space in the corner has been cleared to I could at least get the new project in the dry, not ideal for working on it though! While I was digging under my main bench the other day for engine parts for diggerjames and had most of the junk pulled out I thought I might as well sort it all out! 90% of the junk neatly fitted into 50% of the space Pete dropped in Tuesday to give me a hand with the next stage... Sorting out the top and size of the bench!! Can you spot where the vice was bolted down? A rare sight indeed, a clean bench! What happened next may seem a little strange! Marking a cutting line with the grinder.. Yep, I did say marking a "cutting line" A while later, the bench was in "slimline mode" So why have I cut the bench in half? Although the bench was a nice big size I could only really reach the front half of it! Which meant the back half only got covered in junk and metal off cuts! And as I managed to operate just fine on half of the bench, it's all I really needed.. and some extra floor space would come in handy Of course I now have a box and a half of off cut's to find home for, but I think I have that worked out. The blue box is Wh spares which are waiting for some racking to be moved! The first job for the new narrow bench was getting Kenny's panels finished.. Good progress was made on that yesterday until tiredness hit big time about lunch time! Feeling more awake today Stay tuned for more space making work... Still loads to do.

Hello Guys! We've been busy over this way for around three weeks now, building a 11ft x 5ft trailer to transport my machines too and from the shows it's big enough for two tractors and attachments like snowploughs and all my petrol, oil, tools, generators etc, or it's big enough for one tractor and my 4 wheeled cart. It's now finally finished, we tried building the mudguards as well, but they didn't go to plan, and for the sake of £20 we've brought two new plastic mud guards with fitted reflectors, it has a 4ft tailboard that acts just lovely as a ramp to load, takes the weight well, can just drive the tractors straight into the trailer, (makeing sure it's hitched to something otherwise you're asking for disaster to strike. It's very strong, plenty of iron went into the making of this, and plenty of head scratching as well. We've gone for that plant trailer look, it's nothing too special, wouldn't match up to a Brian James, or an iforwilliams but it does the job, was reasonably cheaper and it's not so appetizing and eye drawn by the tea leafs, I'm sure someone would rather steal an ifor Williams before they would this trailer still going all in with the wheel clamps etc though. Never be too careful, It was built from a caravan chassis, I've put it onto RedSquare as well, as I know there's some guys here that aren't yet on RedSquare, Can I just add that it's a very close one, tight fit to say the least, allows for about 3mm gap good measurements dad lol.

Thanks guy's, yep there will of course be a build series Mark
