As Promised - belated photos
As promised. These are some photos of the new workshop, taken several weeks ago now. I had intended to get more photos last weekend, but was working on rebuilding carburetor and lost track of the time! Photos of inside and pallet racking to come when I can.
P3140109.jpg P3020103.jpg And a shot of the rear axle and wheels I acquired around a month ago. The axle is still on this trailer (until I finish the crane / hoist being built at the opening to workshop). The wheels went to local truck tyre place, and after a total of 1.5hrs, both tyres were off, and wheels ready for blasting. P3140107.jpg This is what has occupied my time Sunday. This carb arrived from U.S.A on Friday, and had some damage to be repaired prior to me deciding it would be O.K to rebuild. Ordered overhaul kit from Macsauto in the states (Love Macsauto!). The fuel pump was rebuilt last weekend....and the weekend before. Oil breather and air filter (not pictured) cleaned up at same time. The main body of air filter is presently with local engineering co. having some pin-holes brazed up. P4190114.jpg P4190113.jpg

Lifting Crane Finished - let loose the pigeons!!!!!!!
Finished the gantry crane this afternoon. That is if you don't count another coat of paint next weekend. Depending on how the first lifts go, I may add stabilising struts. I worked the attachment points into existing design, but shouldn't really need them as steel is thickest available.
P5030152.jpg P5030149.jpg The one thing that is guaranteed to fatigue me to feel terribly unwell is working with arms above head height for an extended time. Thats exactly what I spent today doing and am now paying for it. The headache is not so bad but the nausea is hard to take. Going to Brisbane next weekend to pickup pallet racking for cutting down to bench size, and buy a new block & tackle. As a consolation prize, here are some Jeep photos from ANZAC Day that I had forgotten about. Photos......not ANZAC Day! P4260148.jpg P4260146.jpg P4260144.jpg

Gantry
Hi Tony - I would strongly advise stabilising bars as you have no lateral support for a swinging load, and your loads will swing. I am in the process of building a gantry out of 100mm 5g box section all bolted together with 5/8th threaded rod. Images will be posted when finished.
