After coming home from our week long camping trip, I took Sunday to relax and had Monday book off too So Today I spent the whole day cleaning out the Garage ( Not the workshop ) Still need to sort out a couple of shelves and throw a few more things but all in all I'm pretty happy with myself As a reward for the days effort I got this so I can do more chores

Well my real world projects are keeping me very busy amongst life stuff So finally there is enough welding job's I need to do that I could justify (to the wife ) Buying a new MIG welder Luckily for me when I built my welding trolley a few years ago, I made it much bigger than my Inverter ARC needed so that any future welders would fit on it Stoked

Another busy weekend of get things done Continued painting the skirtings as part of my effort to finish jobs around the house before Bailey's 1st Birthday :O Wet sanded another painting project ready for topcoat and Although I now have the enclosed trailer for the CHVRC meet, I decided to build the small trailer anyway as a study in welding with my new Mig Ready for the real project I bought the Mig for ( Modding the boat trailer ) I have to say that I was pretty good with an ARC but with a Mig I am really good, This thing is just point a shoot, once you have the settings right Anywho the trailer wont go to waste though, The Idea now it to make it a movable garden bed for the Wife to plant out #Migsrock #NotAtrailerHoarder





Put the aggressive wire wheel in the grinder today and cleaned up the frame ?


Then gave it a coat of dark grey epoxy paint ?

I love the rims of your trailer Andy. They could be prettier polished and clear coated.

Thanks Flo, They will definitely get a good clean But polishing is a step to far for this project

Nice projects mate

I suck at welding, simply my eyes don't work with welding.
Got home from the optican a few hours ago, and I got a whooping 7 grades difference between my eyes, and that is how they were measured in 13'-
My glasses is worn and I need new ones, so my eyesight may have changed since then.

No wonder I have headache very often.

Glad on your behalf that you can weld, and for God sake, take care of your eyes!
My eyesight got worse after welding with sunglasses, don't do that, EVER!

Oh boy Caprinut Your poor eyes, Yes I always wear eye protection when grinding and an Auto tint welding helmet for that job

Continued on this little project Wire wheeled everything then painted

And back together Just need to tidy up the jockey wheel and Next to build the garden box top
