    I enjoyed that and really like seeing you use the 'vintage' workshop equipment. We used to make robust machine tools in the U.K. once didn't we.

      Thanks! Yes that's right. Edgwick lathe (Coventry) Midsaw (Birmingham) Elliot 10m (uk somewhere). Not sure what we still make, hopefully something.

    You did a neat job on the rotisserie, real craftsman with panels too.

    Good to see you again Ben. You have some wonderful engineering equipment at your disposal. It would be a shame not to make use of it. That is a superb and safe rollover jig. Looking forward to the next instalment.

      Thanks for the comment! I do love my engineering equipment, I'd buy more of it if I had room. Comes in very handy for the cars but it's mainly hobby use. I do odd jobs for local farmers but not often. Next episode will be blasting and painting underneath.

    Wow..that Alfa has rust in all the unusual places.Have you any history of where the car has been all its life.

      You'd think parked in the sea for a few years but it's just the English weather I believe. As far as I know the owner of the car hasn't had it that long so he might not know much about the history but I'll ask him.

    Been periodically checking in for new videos in titillation. Thorough work takes time though eh

      Sorry about that, been working on more modern vehicles for 6 weeks or so (boring, yawn). Classics are much more interesting and channel worthy. Unfortunately classics don't always pay the bills so I have to do it. Thanks for sticking around.

    It's the best balanced rotisserie I've seen so far! Was it pure luck or did you search for the perfect center of gravity?

    • @bensclassicbodywork
      @bensclassicbodywork  11 місяців тому +2

      👍 there are 6 adjustment holes 25mm apart on each end to fine tune the balance. You do have to make a rough guess as to where the centre of mass will be so that it's within the adjustment limits. The balance axis is always lower than you might estimate so a bit of experience helps with the estimation.
