liongeorge 7 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 I want to make my own quick set basket as I have access to welding facilities and steel at work. I have had a good look at one and there are photos about for the design but just need a width measurement at the widest point really to be able to go ahead. Could any of you guys who have one be kind enough to put a tape on it and let me know. I think it may be 30" as that is the max hieght you need your net. Cheers George Quote Link to post

graham4877 1,181 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Well as you've got the size now its ok! But for any one who wants to make one all you need to do is draw it out on some card! How are you going to make the hoop? a ring roller would do the job but if you have a pipe bender you can use that. failing that get it in the press brake! Quote Link to post

I'll just bend it by bit by bit in the vice and do it by eye, it's only 8mm bar ,very easy to bend. I'm wondering now how deep it should be! Oh well I'm sure I'll work it out as I go along Quote Link to post
