BIKE STAND IS HOME FINALLY!
after a few months of neglected bikes and moments of being half way home and and going shit i forgot it again! i got it home!
it was welded at a school by the kids to try and get them into metal working a bit more, sadly none were really into it, a get shame!
but here it is in all its blunt raw beauty and the best rip off or park tool blue i could find for $3 a can at bunnings!
made a little tool shelf/tray thing this arvo for it too!
here are the drawers me and the old man built for the hilux, thought the brought ones were too wastefull in space and expensive and weak.
ours are 99% dust proof but the simpson desert will change that. rated to about 300kg a drawer on the front edge at full extension, one also has a lid so you can use it as a bed, there is also 5 jerry can holders behind them, a big box for oils, grease, fluids etc. a water tap and hose built in.
the locks are about as over complicated as possible the brought ones weren't good enough for the old man so we man our own, the push closed much like a door and have a 1/8th turn od the handle to open them, mostly stainless and brass fittings, stainless handles, brass latches and stainless pull rods in the mechanisam.
