@marjon disappointingly the large toolbox is only 132 kgs 
the 7 add up to 330 kgs and last one will not be much over 35 I should guess.
I find it funny that we moved it and my workshop contents weighed less that 700 kgs complete. Even after selling and giving away 100's of items it still weighs in at over 2500 kgs!

Hee Hee!Oh yes we did
The biggest items were the motorbike, chesterfield sofa with QA chair and club chair(?) fridge and freezer, washing machine, A bed that came apart so just pieces and a generator. then just clothes and a few small items of electrical nature. Loads of boxes of little bits and some are now in the loft space still to be opened 12yrs on
The little box trailer has had the top cut off and is now our log trailer around the house.
The big trailer is now the garden shed

i seriously considered converting our huge box trailer into a caravan, I'll put a pic up of it.
The company don't make them anymore just catering trailers.
I have had so many offers to buy it.

Mine has got a German thingy on the tow bar bit but the guy who was most serious about the offer is a Brit who spends his time transporting stuff professionally to eSpain and Portoogall.
He showed me his trailer which had tiny wheels and said he has a least two punctures/blowouts per trip.
Considerin we only paid £1400 for it in about 2007, I think we have got our money's worth out of it.
It needs a new rear crossmember welding in and maybe some repair to where the floor is secured to the cross members, it also leaks a tiny bit at the front although a lot of the watter that I find is condensation. I cover everything with tarp to prevent damage, it seems to work.

The minute you sell it, you will need it
Bit like chucking out stuff you have been saving but never used/needed till its gone

We've had a good look at doggy's paw/leg and it's a bit of a pusy mess so we will have to make an appt this pm and take er to the vet's.
They'll prolly just give her antibiotix and rebandage her up.
Can't see what's caused it, which is always annoying.
Also annoying how we didn't notice her doing anything with it much before it got to this stage.

Oh I'm sure it's nothing too serious, but they are very longhaired and do tend to pick stuff up in it, brambles etc etc.
Usually we catch it in time and remove it. but very small ones can slip through the net.
course we've been concentrating more on the little'un that had her op.
thanks for the kind thought!

...that Lathe-Boy escaped his chains yesterday and donned his best gimp mask safety-squint and made this little beauty (the dull thing, not the shiny things).
What is it? ...I hear you all ask.
It is an alignment tool. It is some 8mm bar stock that has been threaded and then counterbored with a 5mm hole.
Its purpose is to take the place of one of the index pins so that the receiving hole on the inner section of two telescopic tubes is drilled at exactly the right place and the little "pip" of the index pin can locate in the hole.
Without the lathe this would not have been easy at all.

Could well be, we couldn't see anything and she was howling and struggling.
I even put a muzzle on her which I never normally do, as Wifey was getting concerned.
Got an appt for 16h20 this affo so we'll let them sort it out.

I read all this stuff, have no idea what a lot of it is about, but still love reading it!
Could you not have just bought some threaded bar and then drilled the hole in the end, or did you want the bar to have a bit with no thread on it so as to keep it dead straight in whatever will be holding it?
