    If you were closer you could borrow one of my cable chasers. (I can almost do it dust free with the bfo shop vac).

    Might be worth putting some stops on the back of the angles so as the thing slides in and under the plank it stops against the edge of the plank. That'd g'tee it sits fully under. ?

    It'd work a treat I reckon. I think you need the lifting angles pretty much the same width as the board you are lifting to put even pressure across the board and the pivot point dead central. My angles are just <4" long as that's what the bit of scrap angle ended up cut in two. As I say this was made ad hoc with just a feel for what works. Guessing your boards are nailed down with cut nails? Do you have the "scrap" to make one? I could cobble together a "kit" of parts pre cut and give to you with the welder if you wanted or even knock one up (if you're not in a hurry ).

    +1. My cess pool is deep. Like Guy N Smith's The Sucking Pit....

    Mine's for taking the pallet apart to be able to reuse the timber not breaking it up for firewood. The basics are that it fits like this in these (staged) pics: Then levers back; the angle rotates about the bolt and lifts the plank up without splitting it: Tried it earlier with just one leg complete and it seems to work a treat.

    Behave! The modded version is coming along nicely!

    Just a thought..... If a drone happens to fly over your house are you within your rights to shoot it down? Don't get me wrong I'd do so without a second thought. Just wondering as to the legalities.

    Try again continuing the time honoured tradition of rule of thumb & guesswork:

    Hydraulic hoses have a limited lifespan. If you can't get one easy or the price seems a bit steep try a Pirtek branch. Better to go to them with the old hose than have them come to you.

    Purloined from elsewhere but seems reasonable: Square pipes would be inferior to round pipes for several reasons.1. Round pipes are the most efficient shape to have the largest volume to surface area ratio. A square pipe would require more energy to pump water due to more surface area to drag on.

    Galvanisers few and far between now. Medway galvanizers do both galv and ppc. These people zinc flame sprayed and 2-pack epoxied my brother's astronomy pier: http://beeverlimited.co.uk Before & after but taken on a crap phone:

    Quick for me! Pity it doesn't work! Rough and ready but looks alright: The Parkside arc welder came out: The PROBLEM is this: The arms need to be cranked or curved to present the lifting angles flat to the planks. This way it BREAKS pallets that are really well nailed on. Quite what personality trait made me make them like that when I KNEW I needed to (I think there's even a CAD drawing somewhere I did) we'll never know! Give up and consign to the fail bin or try again...

    One bonus is untreated steel is cheap as. Start galvanizing, powder coating etc and it bumps the price up. You might want "rubber" feet or strip glued on to stop scratches / stains on the floor.

    Could do a bolted connection for transport or take two lengths of flat bar and weld on yourself...

    Would just the two legs do it i.e be stable enough? Can't help thinking it needs cross pieces between the two at the top.

    You have pm.

    Just got a budget price from my fabricator of 30 years - £60 per leg in 70x12 flat bar (guess). The kicker is the polyester powder coating, min charge of £125.00. I would add they are a "proper" firm so the fab should be spot on. They sub the ppc out so have little control over that. Plenty of backstreet places around should do it. I'll keep at it!

    So basically a pasting table then?

    I downloaded some part dimensioned drawings ages ago to make one but too lazy/stubborn to find them so going for it by gut! Some 32mm round bar last seen on the core drill guide when replacing the water main. A ropey old bit of 1/4" angle last used umpteen years ago for welding practice. A Starrett etc. After a half ar$ed attempt at removing the mill scale: Don't wait up...

    Like Ed's got the time! Once the stairs are done he's got to make all the internal doors!

    One of the characters on Bluestone 42 was a Scot nicknamed Rocket...significance?

    Whiffle Waffle does it for me!

    Have a look: https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/ There'll likely be a hobbyist / home fabricator lives near you who could knock something up! Maybe in st/st? https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/stainless-tables.73668/ They're a nice bunch over there.
