a fairground life(water laser day1)

well i got off to a good start today- the weather was lovely, the steel arrived promptly at 9.30, the GRP panel arrived shortly afterwards and it was just off loaded when the mobile rang and i was told the trailer axles and coupling had arrived, perfect. after a short trip i had picked up the trailer parts and was eager to return to the yard to get stuck into the job. first was to cut the steel to size. there's not much to the chassis and i was confident it would be finished by this evening. oh no! i've left the chop saw behind, its 26mls away in the show lorry! well so much for the good start this means cutting the steel with the 9 inch angle grinder. not really hard work, but you don't get a square end! "R" set up a couple of tresils and we started construction. after a few hours the chassis was almost finished. we wasted a few minutes trying to decide how best to make the brake cables miss the bridge in the chassis, but when we got an idea it was full steam ahead again.it got dark at 6pm so we give the underside a quick coat of primer. the plan is that it will be dry for tomorrow. when we turn over the chassis i'll finish the top welds, fit the wheels and coupling. a few more good days of weather and the job could be finish completely in one week. here's hoping.
