Homemade 16kg plates (360mm Dia x 20mm Thick)

Thanks go out once again to Bob for kindly cutting the disks on his plasma cutter!

Ahh, plates-angle grinder-powerfile-Hammerite Paint

Orbital sander. RIP.

(It's a long story but suffice to say it all started long ago when I lent it to a former neighbour)

Let the 'scrub' painting commence!

These Homemade plates are gonna get some abuse, so no need for more than a few microns o'paint.

They look "well dope" (apparently)

All done finished, dry & on the bar within 5hrs.

The unsung hero - my squat box.

(Recycled from the Malton floods @5:57 vid taken 2 doors down from our old house - lucky or what!)

I'm no wuss but still wear me PPE when grinding etc.
