Well I should have added that old saying

Delightful to look at delightful to hold but if you brake it I will consider it sold.

Jason I have some round bar to drive in to the ground and then slip the frames onto them.

I will make up some feet the same as yours when time permits.

Round bar should work very well. I'd say they are a winner!

For reasons I can't/won't explain, I find the welding on the frames from my local range need much better welding (and steel)....

Election posters work good to, one of our local candidates donated me a few to use as backing boards after the last election seeing as it was the last time he would run. I approached one of the other candidates but that one didn't like the thought of its head being used as a target, no sense of humor :D

Waste of good core flute I reckon

I've been collecting "We buy houses" and "Roofs painted from $300" signs some idiot has been trying to hide at our office. Stupidly, he hides them between the bush outside my office window. He's lost more than he's put up....maybe he'll wake up...or perhaps I should put a 'used' one back in the bushes....
