Nice pictorial and writing, Rob! I didn't realize you had put the crease down the middle of these yourself
when I saw them the other day. Smart guy, you are.

What's this?? Don't blame it on the hangover, buddy boy! It all went down your gullet without
a problem, I'll bet. You were a volunteer!
:lol:
I was a welder for years. Sometimes the boss would be standing nearby when one of us raised our hood,
and he'd notice the excess sweat on someone's forehead. He'd just look 'em in the eye and ask;
"Is this job getting in the way of your drinking time, bud?" It meant, Go home tonight and get
a good nights sleep!
These things came out great, Rob. You're a hard worker, hangover or not!

Cheers Lads :thumbup:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Dean ,,,,,,,, nothing like a shift welding in a confined space ,,,,, to help remove the spirit form the sole :lol: :lol: :lol:
Made the handles from some re-bar i had scrounged ,, nice and grippy ,, my #25 vice was just the job to use as a bending jig ,,,,, heat, bend , bash
Then the pins and handles were then welded to the flasks , using the mark one eye ball and my least squished thumb to get them in ruffly the right place ::)
They still need a bit of tweaking here and there ,,,,,,,,,, nowt to major ,,,,,,,,,,,, well that's another job off the list .
Well then you go on the net and see this :doh:
Looking round the shop looks like i have the gear at hand to make one :D
Cheers for lookin Rob :beer:
