This morning I welded on the hold down plates that will be used to bolt the cage to the concrete, and also a door 'close plate' to stop the hinges over traveling. Then I modified the hinges so that they can be bolted on rather than welded, and then swung the doors. I've welded a cap on the hing pins to stop them being easily knocked out, and eventually will 'slight' the bolts in the Cromwellian sense to prevent them being unscrewed. After lunch I put on the worst coat of paint I can remember spraying - JCB yellow - to be fair it was blowing a gale but it certainly looks grotty. Most will be covered by the galvanised cladding thank goodness. |

Andrew, A roller work better than a spray gun for this sort of thing! Cheers, Matthew |

When I had a set of bottles, I mounted them in the compressor shed chained to the wall, well ventilated, with the regulators on and the pipes led through the wall and coiled up on a wall bracket. Worked well for me for many years, but I was gifted some long pipes with the kit when I bought it! Phil Phil I need to roll the trolleys from place to place 'to the job' - work isn't always at the bench |

Andrew, Great work as always. I'm wondering what it costs to have bulk tanks outside with the gases piped into the building - or do you need the mobility of bottles on a trolley? Charles |
