As if you and anything would outweigh bathroom scales. That would probably be close enough measurement.
Just work it out by length of each peice with an app on your new phone crayon boy

As if I need to worry about weighing myself on bathroom scales, there is a set somewhere but I havent seen them in years, and I am not going to chew on that crayon thanks. :mrgreen:

If you noticed the three lines cut into the leg and foot in photo 1, that is so the numpty can put it together the right way, each leg has either 1, 2 or 3 lines cut into the four parts of each leg/foot and top section, if they are lined up, it all slots together nicely. TREV PAY HEED.

Thinking of calling it the Kamel Kritter Kranker, wonder how that would go down with the pansies. :lol: :lol:

Camel,

If you get to Narromine, getting a gun to shoot won't be a problem, TZ will have a nice HG unemployed for the 1000, I should know, it's the gun I won my first SC with. Dare say there will be others to lend you the hardware as well.

We had a couple of these at different angles. This one with longer legs was for removing engines.
With your same legs would meet all of your criteria and as long as you kick the legs out is solidImageImageImage
