Carrier 'Rotisserie'

With a little imagination and engineering skills, you too can have something like this. Perfect for those times when you need to sandblast your carrier.

A local carrier owner built this 'contraption' so that rebuilding carriers would be a whole lot easier.

Nice stuff, not sure what a tub would weigh, but as Iam yet another over cautious Brit i would consider thicker chains, i would hate to think what sort of inertia that tub would generate if it brke free.

I made a similar item for a mini and it is much easier especially when welding up floor pans !

Great Idea for practicing victory rolls after each rally, Just make sure you are wearing a full seat belt harness and a hard hat!!
All you need now is a pilots license and some wings.
Any way what a neat idea for getting all the loose sand out

Not sure Dennis but it does look like garnet from the texture and colour.

Damned awkward way to find lost keys!

no its one of those "space carrier" training simulators

you cant see the wind along scene which Tom uses out of black sheet with loads of timy holes in

it is a cool bit of kit to be fair i have been wondering how i will get under mine (when i get one)

Hell of a way to empty the ash tray!

I built a similar manual one for use with my M38 tube during rebuild. Makes painting a breeze.
