Lord Ferguson Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Now then... I've spent the last few days in the garage.... as promised... ladder pics... I'm going to get some ali box and tubing to make an aluminum ladder - he is my test piece... Used up all my wood making these spud boxes... and my growing pile of gates for Spalding (and orders) 16 there I think... that's 128 joints :'( :'( :'( Any feedback welcome... I can take it if you don't like anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 what machine do you put the cutters in marky a little speical job i think you have steady hand for that precise work fella thanks Graham.... to be honest.. it's a sinch.... pillar drill (on max)... cross vice - bobs yer uncle, fanny's your Aunt... my pr**ks a bloater and we'll have fish for tea. You have to go in slow though... I've broken more than one cutter... and £20 a pop - it takes ages to mark them all up as well... 7mm gap between each joint (centres).. I did the ladders the same way... and used c0cktal sticks for the runners - anyone could do it really... the hardest part is getting them to fit together... too much pressure and the slats break... not enough and they won't fit together (interference fit and all that) lovley workmanship there baldy you sure there your work not the kids or the hired help * * thanks Stevie... All my own work... honest gov Hey.. my nose has just grown another 6 inches :D wow Graham out of this world mate truly stunning :P and as for you Marky mate you,ve done a fantastic job on them gates, spud boxes and ladders :P :P and you've still got all of your fingers thanks Marky... one, two, three, four... er... ah.... umm....

MDFord Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Helluva set up you've made there Graham, very smart Marky, your wooden ladders, gates & boxes are looking like fine pieces of craftsmanship to me, you are far too modest P.S. Do you reckon your skills would stretch to doing an old fashioned wooden finger type signpost in 1/32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
