Blimey, something else, I ain't done for a while....

I finally got round to another one of those projects of mine today, making an extension (side tray) of my platform, which I'd been meaning to do for some time, after spending most of the morning measuring up the steel and cutting it to the required sizes & then this afternoon (the bit I ain't done for a while) welding it up, yes I finally got the mig welder out, just need to get the strengthening piece sorted out & some paint, also some wing nut clamps & basically drill out the holes, required to fit the legs onto & of cause clean up some of the excess welding spatter, prep it for painting & then it'll be nearly sorted, that's not of cause forgetting to make the adapters to attach it to the platform.

Personally, I don't often do welding, due to my disability, but don't let that interfere with it, no I'm the kind of person who likes to just get on with these things, look at it this way, I'm saving a fair few quid in the process, as these kind of side tray extensions can easily cost anywhere between £45 to £50 plus, it's not that I'm being tight or anything of the sort, just from time to time, I like to make my own stuff, that may not be worth owt to others, but is to me & it's great in between work & all the other stuff, that comes & goes to be able to achieve the odd DIY project of my own.
