Sorry guys! I'm not all that tech savvy and was having trouble uploading - file size too large onto it now but.

So I've burnt the paint off for my old man, (enjoyed a rum while doing so ) and bought a can of pot belly black (high temp paint) and have sprayed first coat. Also knocked up a basic canvas duffle bag to carry it in

Now I just have to make a spark arrestor, and I might shorten the legs and exhaust sections back from 400mm to 300mm.. maybe

Oh and I think I like mine better than my uncles 'ridgey didge' one. Probably just biased but

Well there ya go!

Had Dads 50th party last night, and gave him his "PasPig". He absolutely loved it, bough a tear to the old fellas eye apparently. Plenty of positive feedback, i think the family was impressed. The canvas duffle bag came up a treat and it all packs up neatly, but comes in at a hefty 24kgs. The pot belly paint came up a treat, looks great! I'll post some finished pics later, when i find my bloody phone!

Looks great mate! Glad to hear the old boy loved it, did you take any orders off the others?

 

[blacky]

Haha mate I actually had a couple of people ask if I'd make them one.. but kindly refused! There's a fair bit of work in it and I'd rather be campin'

I might build myself one now and that'll do...

 

[17triton]

Sounds good mate.

 

[blacky]

Oh... my.... god!

My mate just tagged me in a post on Facebook, and now my mind is BLOWN!

Brain is doing overtime... I have access to all the materials... I have the skills... I have the tools.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
