must catch that robin hood chap, seem to have dipped into my wallet whilst on his rounds!!

Typical Robin of the Mills -- not good with a forklift. I hope that happened prior to your wallet shrink, and not after?! Hope you didn't have a Mawson Moment! :poke:
bertie_bassett:
damage was done a while back I think. been laying in a barn for a little bit I think.
was surprised how easy it was to dismantle. and fit in the van
tomorrows job will be getting it out on my own and down the garden into the workshop!

plan to fix the bent screw?? bend it back ;)
thanks for the offer rob, I may well take you up on that. though I am also thinking of adding a riser block, so may need a longer one.
as for the casting, im just going to use a bit of flat plate instead, iv got some 9mm thick stuff which might do the job. and could buy some box sction to add strength and raise it back up if needed

Well after a couple of hours on my own in the rain iv managed to get it all into the workshop and onto the bench.
Now to start cleaning, then work out what to do about the base
