John,
In stead of making a pocket for the nut recess, I machine a slot right across..... :Doh:


Fortunately it isnt too deep....I pressed on realising the error. I'll use some metal filler to give the efect of a pocket...( I'll bodge with some stuff to make it look good.... :lol:)...

I s'pose it could be welded and I remachine it but there's nowhere round here that could do it... :dremel:

Anyways when its all painted nice who will know??

Just completed the second pocket and its looking pretty good.... Coffee time.. :coffee:

Looks OK to me and it's a solid block so you wont break thru.

Go for it.

If you were closer I'd weld it for you.
Anyone else having a go at one of these I have about 8' of 6" bar and 12' of 5" bar I'll sell cheap but don't ask me to pack and ship it.

Collection only.

John,
If I were closer I'd be asking a favour....being the gent you  are, thanks any way... :beer:

So I pressed on with the job regardless of my major faux pas....( I think thats french for fook up.. Or summat like ) any way it all ended good....apart from adding a bit of cosmetic repair( filling up where I made the error..) its good to go....
I'm glad this isnt a paying job because of the length of time its taken....I think I underestimated just how much time it had taken....
Well here's some more photos, hope you like... :D

No use beating yourself up you have still done good!
Why not make a little shelf or holder that bolts in your faux pas? Just might work!
