what can i make?
I've got about 6-9 metres (might even be as much as 10?) of thick walled steel tube. think its about 1.25" o.d, and thick walled, maybe
about 3mm thick? sorry to mix units 
its been in my garage for years, didn't cost me anything, and i want to try making something with it.
give me some ideas
I might not do anything yet, but want some sort of inspiration. got enough other projects to do, but like ideas

hmm, trolley. i guess wheel dollies for the car would be useful for moving it about the garage. i'd need 16 heavy duty castors though, but i
like the idea.
or a welding trolly 
need loads of cheap castors now like at least 20 of them for not much
guard tower. i like it. need to keep the mongolians out somehow
gypo proof doors, got an alarm on it already after the great unwashed moved in to some waste ground 2 years ago
lol, bike frame, i'd love to. i kinda want to build a chassis for something, even if i never use it, but its a bit heavy for that really. maybe
some kind of gritting machine for the winter? hmm
got an engine crane already, don't intend of taking the engine out much more anyway ha ha. intend to i know i will

Weld up frame for the spare bedroom window and another for the door. Weld vertical bars in and turn the room into a cell.
Useful for keeping the kids in.........and the wife when she moans about your garage time.

I made a sex chair once (in my batchelor days), like a sit down crucifix with some er.... apertures in certain places. It flew out and i made nearly
100% profit.

welding trolley is the one for now. got my eye on a set of 4 tasty heavy duty castors for under a tenner delivered.
considering some wheel dollies, but we'll see.
then the suggested prison and 'sex chair' wtf? won't be for simultaneous use. i'm not fritzl ha ha
yeah, various trollys might be the way for now
