I took the week off work last week to make some headway on the minis cage. Heres how far ive got     I think I'm about 50% there, still got to put in the diagonals and door bars and tie the cage into the shell with some sections of sheet but I'm quite impressed with myself so far  Spent 2 days making a tube bender so i didnt get as much done as id hoped but then again ive got another week off in a weeks time so should finish it up then. Also i cut down the new roof so it just needs welding now (welding=yawn  )  Lots too do! ;D |

I love it! Keep us updated. ;D And love that saw too, it's my favorite tool in the workshop. Kind of relaxing and meditating, it gives you a chance to recap & think about what you're doing... |
