"can i have one" i ask
"no no no no no" was the reply

If you build it she will love it.Trust me I use to have the same problem.

Hi Jeffery, I think secretly we would ALL want one!!
I am keeping my eye out for a complete non-running Mark 5. I would love to make this table a future project.

I have the green light for this one, Elysia actually wants it!

See told you.If I could find enough mowers I would make a hole heap and sell them as coffee tables.Who knows how much they would sell for.

There was a fella selling the handle supports on ebay, but the ones you have look alot better!

Yes those one's where far to big,and told part of the look away from it.The one's I have I made from scratch.

I LIKE IT!!!! Keep it as it is Blumbly.

I think i might just go with a Victa 18 clock.

Yes, I think they were much thicker, and chrome, so they stood out, I do like the way yours blend in.

Is there any chance you could get a few photo's up of just the brackets?

Bob... You have me curios now, Clock???

EDIT: Ah, I have just seen the base you are considering Clocking, I'm guessing the base will be the clock? I read your above post first, and I was wondering if you were intending to turn an entire mower into a clock, which seems quite tricky to me, depending on how you want to go about it.

I just have to paint a leaf guard and put that on.That's the only thing left to do on it.

Well then, when thats done, I would love to see pics of that too, and as above, I'm keen to get a few good pics of your supports, maybe you could come up with a way to show us how it is done?

Yeah sure.Except I forgot where I put the leaf guard silly me.Well I actually have to make a new set as I didn't do the screw long enough.So when I make news ones I can do them in detail if you like.

That would be great, Maybe you could take us through step-by-step 'How to build your own 18" Special Coffee table'

Sure but it will be a fair way off.Many many other jobs in front of it.

No worries mate, Just an idea for when you get around to doing the new supports, and guard!

Hey I found my leaf guard today.Funny how it was right where I left it.In my parts cupboard.

Hi Jeffery, can you please tell me where you got the suction cups from and how they are attached to the mower?
Thanks mate.
PS. I am interested on the front supports as well as I am considering my Mark 5 project to double as a coffee table!!

Suction caps came from Woolworths and they are held down by Urethane (better known as Sikaflex).Rods at front of handle bars are custom made, by me. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Jeffery....off to the shops!!
