Default The continnnnnuing stoooory of a man and his box

Back again after a couple of days...been busy but managed to get a bit more done on the box.

First off, thanks for the compliment George...I could not have accomplished what I have done so far without your excellent instructions. Koodos to you.

Spent quite a bit of time grinding 1/4 inch plate to form bits and pieces. On a humorous note...I was busy bending the funny angles for the end of the box and got distracted just before welding one on. After getting back to the box I fitted the piece I had just cut and bent from the template I had used and much to my confusion there was too much of an overhang on one end...I thought mmmm must of made an error...oh well I will weld it in place and grind the overhang off. Got the piece welded on and went in for supper. It bothered me all through the shrimps and muscles...after dinner I went back out and looked at it one more time....I welded the bugger upside down... so grind and cut it out...make a new one and put it in the right way....HEY! no overhang, a perfect fit. Any way....here is a pic of my progress so far....tomorrow the lids get made and put on.

BTW the wine from La Fiole du Pape and is Chateauneuf-du-Pape
