i've got a new lathe i know where this lathe was for years and been trying to get it for some years finally its mine. havent got it home yet tho i'll put up some more when i get it home

Last year I made a forge out a gas bottle we had laying around, i've made a few little things but nothing of much significance so I thought i'd make some shelf brackets. Slight cuts were put in them so I could bend them in the same place. All the components before bending, not bad to say they were done by eye Above the photo shows them with all the welding complete and a coating of wax. And the finished thing, the screws will get replaced eventually with black ones.

That's smart Koen, you wont get browned off making things now.

Ive had this small gas bottle hanging around for over a year, i've already made a forge out of a larger one but I have always wanted to make a little stove to cook on when we go to shows. with the help of my dads welding we knocked this up in a couple of days. The legs can be removed by loosening the bolts, the idea was to make everything quite compact. Im pleased with how its turned out, when I get round to it I need to add another air vent, a new handle and some other little bits but hopefully it will serve us well!
