Yes I know it looks fugly and needs a good clean!! :oops: I plan to give it a good clean and scrape and whack a few cans of hi-temp spray on it at some point.


It was made by my Wifes dad years ago, since he died its been sat in the corner of the garden rusting away. I asked her mum if I could take it and she said please take it now!! :lol:

Its a bloody heavy thing!! It looks like he made it from an old 47kg gas bottle. The bit with the handle used to open and shut but is rusted solid at moment. I'm actually amazed the Wife is happy for it to go in the garden :lol:

She knows how to get rid of you for a while.

[mention]Mississippi Bullfrog[/mention] His Mrs could probably get rid of him permanently and leave little or no evidence if that thing runs as well as I suspect it can.

You do know that when you get cleaned up and working, she will have the perfect way of disposing of your body :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm planning that tonight!!


I agree with you about the sentimental part, its why I've taken so much from his shed myself. Its nice to use some tools that used to be his and no-one else in the family would know what half the stuff in there was for anyway!


We were all pottering around in his shed just after he died, sorting stuff into piles etc when I was handed a strange looking thing. I had a look and realised it was a stand to turn an angle grinder into a chop saw for cutting steel pipes. Told them what it was and the reply I got was "I dont even know what an angle grinder is, let alone a stand for one" :lol:
