Nice sausage and mash Sal. What's the doorstep pressing like. Are the folds crisp and tight not like those abortions you see from another manufacturer??

haha! cheers Neil.

 

Yeah the step seems to be good it's got a slight twist in it I think but the folds look bang on.

Cheers Hoody.

 

Although I think your dinner might be a bit cold by the time it gets to you.

 

By the time I've got round to it and bought all the bits. I probably could have just bought some more off ebay, I think they only cost about 15quid posted.

 

I'll just start at the top, work down and across so I can move the clamps round as I weld.

Looks messy in there.
