Today I MADE

[Billy]

Great work by the young fella RM and they look like fish catchers to me :Y:

I look forward to a few pics of the first fish caught

RM - that little one in particular will be a reddie/trout dynamo. I had a little rapala that looked similar - a fat rap I think it was - and it was a cracker.

Good paint job too :Y:

Mmmm, galv poisoning is no fun. Don't risk it.

I'm with you on the little one NE these are his first attempt :Y:. Will be for show only he tried them in the dam to see how they worked which they do work well. He's researched hard bodied lures and learnt the first Rapala lures were made from bark off a pine tree so we've got some bark that will become a usable lure :Y:.

Whats your comment in reference to Dave79.

Hi RM... no cast, just old good quality forged steel, easy as to weld with my 40yr. old dinosaur arc.
I cant weld cast or galv for nuts... dont know about special rods either... I went to trade school a lo...oong time ago :lol:

Cast isnt hard to weld. Use cast rods. Heat the metal first then weld it but, Do Not let it cool very quickly at all. Wrap it in something like welding gloves and cover with a bag or put it in lime or sand and let it cool for at least 15 minutes. If it is a thick piece you should peen it, meaning tapping it with an engineers hammer on the welds using the rounded part and then very gradually cooling it.
But I could be wrong
Galv grind off the galv and weld it. Fumes are really nasty. Just ask me.

Aaah, that's how the quote button works.

Today I made the mudflap for the back of the ute.

Hopefully the camper trailer won't be blastered by rocks now. If I had more time I would of made the sides a bit higher.

Cheers

[The Scrounger]

With your new boots and hard core car wide mud flap you seem to be off doing some hard core digging.

Good luck.

Top job :Y:

Heres my latest repurposing job... a cut and shut on an old junked treadmill.

Its now a variable speed rock tumbler with cup holders :lol:

Just had to strip it down and shorten the chassis to bring the rollers together to suit my old Coleman water chiller, get rid of the uprights and join the dashboard to the base and cut out the plastic around the driven roller and plug and play. :Y:

 

[Wally69]

..........and enough storage room to watch it spinning for at least .....one in each hand, plus two more beers.

:Y: :Y: Priceless.

 

[OzzieAu]
