What would you make with these?

Post by AL37 »

Just for a bit of fun I will give you the parts list and tools required for my current project and you can guess what it will be.
The only hint I will give you is I reckon I have saved over £300 by making instead of buying. :-D

1, An old aluminium 10 foot ladder,
2, Some parts of a trampoline frame.
3, Various offcuts of galvanised steel angle.
4, Some stainless steel brackets that I have no idea what they were intended for. Or where I got them.
5, A handfull of various nuts and bolts.

Tools required for the job.
Angle grinder
Reciprocating saw
Drill
Two spanners
Belt sander
philips screw driver
Pencil
T square.

Roof rack? Perchy wins? }hairout{

Surely, every time you go over a bump, whatever is on it will bounce and the car will leave the tarmac.

You haven't thought this through, have you?

Ohhh...I see, so that information wasn't technically true then.

You have only used a tramp.
