Colin, good to see your back on track(s), (well nearly).
In one of the pics I noticed a handful of cast wing nuts, are these commercially available or old stock as I have searched for correct type of fasteners in the past. Keep up the progress pics as we can all learn from your vast experience.

Carrier production line
Henry Ford would be proud if your work Colin. Next you will be turning them out in black...
As Euan has said, and we recently discussed there is always a market for good repro wingnuts steel and brass. I would love to trip over a crate of NOS brass british wingnuts some day in a shed. Keep up the great qualuty and quanity of carriers ! Cheers Phill

Mornin! thanks 4 the comments and Euan, unfortunately that handful of wingnuts is it. I was repairing a machine for my brother on his farm and found them in his workshop. I have to go back again and tip out all the containers he's got and them all. They were Dad's so they have been sittin' for a long time. I might do a bit more in the shed today.
 Hey Phil! Thats a good Idea "BLACK" a cammo carrier. Black over dark black?

I got a bit more done with a few interuptions today. I found a crack in the floor so I did a repair before I put the side on. When I build my shed I put a overhead gantry in. When doing this type of work on your own it's like having an exrta couple of helpers at times. There are 2 independant ones up there which give me a lot of flexability. they travel 12mtrs x 4mtrs as the last photo shows.
Colin.

I,ve put the lower side on and the shelf section. I made the brackets for the side and just a couple of pics to show how I made them.

All brackets finished, small screw blocks done and I welded them all in location prior to welding the side plate on. Thats just about that side almost complete.
Now this probably raises that age old question again. How much of the original needs to be there before it's a replica. There was a fare amount gone from this one but I still class it as original. Colin.
