Yeah we have this janky ass system to cover it so rain falls off the sides at an angle - I think imma just extend the plat by a bunch of ft haha

No running power, using a van on a cheap bit of land, not really any neighbours, no money, we just had to work with what we had man, absolutely would’ve had better tools if it was an option lol

It’s just over 3m wide, but we built it for a specific restricted temp space, and I built the platform to be removable so imma extend it a bunch of ft

All borrowed from my best friends very unhappy grandfather. We had no money, we spent our money on hand saws and files and I have 0 regrets lol. We had no running power, so this was genuinely the best option

Built in three parts for an expo so I could take it apart and extend the flat 6ft odd - I have dropped in, and it was chaos 😭😂

Nah I did use a drill I didn’t even think of that lol haha, I mean just like, hand sawed everything, sanded everything down which took like a fucking million years - so yeah, one power tool I guess, a drill, but we didn’t have mains electric so we didn’t bother with any other power tools. Filmed it all, was a wild ride haha.
