I'm making mine in my dinning room :p :D :8
 
Looking good Col,

I'm liking the fact that you can make a sandwich and a cup of tea whilst building your Walbanker.

I see that yours is sitting on trestles. Mine on was built on an esky which was too low. I used wooden horses today which was much, much better for stability and working height.

Other lessons learnt for others, use g clamps whilst drilling for pop riveting.

Cheers
 
I bought the trestles because that's where the yellow stuff came from :8 and I need a new stand for my BBQ out back :) and the yellow will never know :)
 
Walbanker Update #4

Its amazing what you can do with a bit of thought.

I knew the kids old scooters would come in handy one day!

Looking good Col,

Yep! thought I could throw one together but probably have to call it a "Dud-banker" out of respect to Wal :)
