[stuarth44]

yes Brino
I'm just abt to order 2 tonne 5083 from china
Aluminum Alloy Plate 5083
6400x1500x6
6400x1200 x4m
FOB Shanghai port 4.53usd/kg
bout 12 a kg here
I will use it to build boats, I only have partial use of my left hand so I'm going to show people how and so on
you can see here I flared the bow, so that'll need wheeling, unfortunately I have no means of shrinking plate edges, ECKOLDs start at abt 25k

Wow, thanks for sharing this!
Those I-beams are some very heavy metal.
What an inspiring build.

Any chance you could get some short videos of the work station in action?
