Yep but worst

I got a real surprise ten minutes ago. Fanfare rung on the doorbell, the Assistant barking his lungs out, then the postie handed me a parcel. First time I've had mail before lunchtime in years. I now have my stand to use an angle grinder as a cutoff saw.

Now that's early especially just before Xmas! Let me know a price for a couple of stands that holds 10 or 12 tanks each when you decide on a price, must hold up to 25mm ones

I reckon a 30mm hole spacing ought to cover that. The metal becomes a little less manageable much past a foot long. The milling table has a movement range of 180mm or six holes.

A ten hole one would be a quarter inch over a foot which is doable. Price depends on the metal cost and time obviously. Postage is likely to be a significant chunk of the price. Just checked and the amount of metal comes to about 8 quid. Marking out, drilling and tapping will take a couple of hours (It does take time to be careful with this stuff.) Postage would be around a fiver or less.

Would you want it mounted into wood (Which I can't do) in which case I'd drill and tap two or three M5 holes in the back of it so you can bolt it into the wood.

Alternatively I can stick on some felt feet which are cheap enough. Or investigate how much felt costs and cover the entire base.

No need for the felt feet i've got something similar to these that i use with my cb radios through not as high, It will be mid January before i'm ready for them so plenty of time yet pm me the total price when you know i'll deff have 2 of them https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40Pcs-Square-...SwOzNalmvM

The postman's been busy today

[ecignut]

That looks really smart Rob - well done Don - it isn't just the postman who has been busy.

I'm almost in a position to start manufacturing these. I'd love a milling machine which could then do it in my sleep

And the hospital postie just turned up with some cotton pads. Thanks Skyray!
