    Latest project. Added channel to side of trailer to carry silage bales. First added two 300mm lengths to each end with a flat plate welded on underneath. I drop the longer length on the lower plates and slide it in. Had to cut slots for the side hinges. Easy enough to get on and off using the crane hoist. Toughest part was cutting the slots with the angle grinder. It's 200x90mm channel and side walls are about 12mm. Bolted on with m16 bolts.

    Brings the overall width of the trailer to 8 feet. Haven't figured how to make the channel ends covered yet. An accident waiting to happen with an oncoming car.


    Nice tidy bit of work there fair play.

    I posted this before but, I used this method again to straighten the vertical bar on a gate (hanging side) yesterday. Great job.
    Must get working on all the other gates that got bent out of shape over the years.

    Good thinking.
    We've all seen gates with the top bar bent where an animal leapt out over it. If they're not too badly damaged I sometimes get to hang them upside down as an internal field gate; not too pretty to look at but they do the job.

    a few fence posts under it and roll it away, bringing the one from the back up to the front as you move it

    Get a deck of cards and a slab of beer and invite a few hardy lads round.
    Move it on rollers before you start drinking.They weigh the best part of 400KG.

    I just saw a clever clip but I can't link or share here.

    But anyways it was a socket welded to an electric fencing strip wire reel.
    They then put a cordless drill to the socket and hey presto no more winding the strip wire up by hand anymore.

    Got the cooker moved anyway. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I had no room or way to get any sort of roller underneath,so what I did was put two pieces of 6mm ply underneath using a nail bar. Then I got a long strap right around it and pulled it out an inch at a time each side. Quite heavy alright but doable

    In a similar way i have used a cordless drill to power a scissors jack to jack up a car

    Had a crack at knocking out a few forged rivets for the gate.
    Might have another go tomoro in daylight now that I’ve the process kind of figured out.

    Then again, these might do too...

    Only another 39 to go...

    It's not the clip but that's the principle. :)

    Just need to guide the wire left and right with your hand and slow the drill down maybe a little.
