Found something else during my adventures finding stuff in storage.
A bit of pipe!
But this is no ordinary bit of pipe, no no. It's a bit of pipe with a cut through the middle!
So the story behind this is that it was a test piece used on an explosives course that I attended a year or two ago. It was used with a flexible shape charge that blasted the cut through the middle (roughly 180 degrees around). They were going to throw it out after we were done but I asked to keep it with the intention of using it to build a heavyweight drum spinner one day. Well that's probably not going to happen so I thought I'd offer it up here and see if anyone is interested with the re-emergence of a certain TV series. You could either continue the cut and have two sections or even fill in the gap with weld material.
Stats -
- total weight - 15.4kg
- diameter - 230mm approx
- length - 300mm approx
- wall thickness - 9.25mm approx
Pics below. Make me an offer if you are interested.
