Well, these things dont build themselves... thought i might share the journey in photos. I'd been dickin around with tables and lifting bits, using a pump here or there, and a pallet and sheet of metal to avoid melting the lino. The brew frame was beckoning...
bits
looked a lot at the brutus build before deciding i didnt want to plumb the gas, and that i wanted the horizontal parts of the frame to sit on top of the legs, not joined beside them (hope that makes sense).
the plan (upside down)
i'd never welded before, but set myself the challenge. Arc welding. Felt like a complete nong head for the first few efforts. More reading, more practise, more reading, more practise, and a few grinding discs later and i was feeling like i was totally on top of it! Joining, and making shapes with metal is a totally awesome and eye opening experience. I recommend it!
