Going to make an additional bench for the office, sorry garage.
How much is a reasonable price for angle iron to make the frame from?
Intention is to put it on wheels and hide engines beneth it. Got the work top from a friends kitchen, just need the metal / wheels / time now.
IMO you would be better off building it from 50x25mm box, be a lot sturdier.
Not much help was it?

whats wrong with wood?
.......also not much help
haven't got either the wood or the 50x25mm
i assumed angle would be cheaper & it would mean i get to play with my aldi special arc welder!
50mmx25mm ..... so whats the rough cost per m?
I think when we ordered some a few months back it was about £15-20 for a 6.5 metre length of 50x25x1.5mm. Phone one of the local steel stockholders and ask
Bloody hell Mike build the car not benches!!!
Anyway, with another bench there'll vbe no room for ther effing car
the plan is to lose the engine stand and make a bench to go over the engine that is under the stand - therefore increasing the amount of space i
have.
Have to admit, keep thinking why am i fooling myself i'll ever finish the car
then again, i've got the whole weekend to myself - think i've just decided i'm spending it in the garage

Just bought some yesterday from AC steels in Burton on Trent

12 metres 25x25
came to £45
He also offered ALL the ERW for a Roadster, for £70, so well worth a visit
