Hope it has non-slip rubber feet and a safety strap or it will fail a workplace health & safety inspection

What did I do today?

Nothing!

Much to the wifes dissapointment, I spent the day on teh couch doing nothing, taking it easy and generally being lazy.

Some days it just has to be done.

Webbing harness to secure the 4.5kg gas bottle on theroofrack.
I designed, cut and pinned. Brony sewed.

$35 for webbing and buckles sure beats what ARB are asking for their version.

Nice work mate. Has your back door cracked yet?

LOL Just what the world needs, is another back yarder building sliders and tube bars

Problem with them is they are so time consuming to build. I spent the best part of 10 hours yesterday just to do the metal work. Ill no doubt spend up to another 10 hours during the week making it all pretty and presentable. It may not have taken so long if I was using all new steel, but I was using off cuts and scraps so it made the job a bit longer and messier.

Anyway add up time, steel,  consumables, and finishing it nicely, it probably owes me close to $800 if I had to pay myself!

I did think about adding to the 'back yarder world' but Id have to make half a dozen of them at once I think to keep them affordable........so I quickly decided not to do it

[DannyG]

Nice work mate. Has your back door cracked yet?

No not yet but I have always only kept the original sized tyre on the back so maybe that has helped?

[oldmate]

Yeah that could help mate. Mine cracked thats why I built my carrier. Still hav to fix the crac and paint it yet

Been dying to use this

Jimmy, when about half way through I said to Brony that I could get Lost to model it as a suspenders belt if he had to do the 'nude up ' thing to dissuade others vfrom camping too close to our group next weekend.
Now THAT would be a definite case of    !!!

Good work Danny

When is a back yarder not a back yarder?? I was thinking about that as i was making  my trailer..

I have a welding operators certificate and a registered trailer repair business name, but i have a workshop at home that i use for trailer work.. It was built mainly to work on trailers...

As i sell and repair  trailers here am i classed as a back yarder or what??

nah mate, a back yarder is an unqualified person doing the job for money at his home.  Probably a bit harsh calling a qualified tradesman a backyarder

Although when I was younger I used to paint cars at home for extra cash, and as a qualified person I still considered myself to be back yarding because I was doing it for cash away from my actual work!

After our last trip away into the High Country with the Kamper on and the bikes loaded onto the Kimberley they copped a fair bit of dust. So it was out with the tape measure and I then put SWMBO to work.....

The result....The Fork'n Bar Bra!!!   

[rossow]

Built some new arms to replace the broken plastic ones on the wifes 5 point recliner coleman.
