Need to build something, but what?

Made my F cheater bar and it works quite well. It tweaked the left top rail with ease and brought the rear mounting points for the footrest in line again. Should come in pretty handy...View attachment 1300View attachment 1301View attachment 1302View attachment 1303View attachment 1304

In construction long ago and far away in a different universe we always called those a "hickey bar" but in todays work environment, you cant use one since homemade tools of any type are a no no now due to idiots hurting themselves with them. You cant even weld a eye on a hammer to fasten a safety lanyard so you wont drop it (again homemade tool). Man am I glad I am retired. I can weld up homemade tools all day long and use them (without hurting myself for the most part).

Made a find last week, somebody was tossing out about 50 ft of 1 x 2 inch aluminum channel stock all in 5 ft lengths,1/8" thick.
LOL, it came home with me.
Now what to use it for.
Also was some 2 ft lengths a 'T' all in 1/8".
Heck worth good $'s even at scrap prices.
I figured about 100 lbs of good usable material..

Build a cattle guard. Then you do not have to open a gate and at the same time the cows will not cross it
