interesting little challenge at work at the moment....

customer:
put a roof on this please, and I want it to act as a cover when its in storage and as a shade when we are putin around





step one make an outer ring to support the canvas roof....
all alloy welding (tig)



why do I always get these "oddball" jobs



originally this old girl was an Australian lifesavers surf rescue boat, she's well past her prime and well and truly in the over-weight class



I've got ~1/2 a days work left on her before she heads off to the canvas shop for the new lid....
