Using scrap...
Here's a setup I use to turn old bits of galv pipe to useful purpose...

method is to tack the join, let the clamps go, rotate the pipe 180, reclamp, then weld it up. I've been doing this job like this for decades, works really well with no worries about keeping stuff straight. I've also found that life is easier to use an old time wheel pipe cutter rather than the drop saw to trim the pipe ends, ready made "V" for good penetration and mostly flush finish, mostly....
The welding bench is made up from 32mm gal water pipe and Downee clips. Those end pieces are joined together in the dirt by another pair of pipes, the clips along with a small bit of the buried pipe is just visible. It's all very stable.

cheers,

spot on....And is the "bench" made up from some pieces joined as you have described?
I have one too. About twice a year it use for a few seconds for undoing things. At such times it is my best friend!!My latest tool is Ryobi 18V battery powered brushless Impact Driver. I have a Daihatsu Feroza 4x4 on mates bush block. I went to removed a wheel with a wheel brace and could not get the nuts undone after some rock ape had tightened them up. The impact driver made short work of them and couple of other rusty bolts. Saved me a lots of grief. I wanted the wheel nuts at torque settings so I can remove them if I have a flat tyre.

I saw this workaround somewhere on the interweb.

I have the same & for those who want know the 5 year warranty is good. Full replacement @ Bunnings.I have bought an Ozito brand impact driver, brushless. So much torque it will twist your hand. Very happy with it.
I've been using an old section of exhaust for about the last 25 years.....now my son is also doing it.For wheels a length of gal steel pipe slipped over the wrench is a lot cheaper and as easy.
Looks interesting. I wonder how it would go on sandstone?Has anyone tried this cordless brush ?

I have have probably 500sq meters of paving and decking .... I'm thinking its not man enough for the task ? I guess you could buy six of them and strap them together to get some work area from it .... hmmm.....
What are the exact model numbers of these grinders?Hi folks,
I am replacing my angle grinder and have a choice of buying (for a very good price) one of two hardly used 4 inch ones....a Makita or a De Walt
They are each about $ 100 new.
Which would you go for ?
