My channel focuses on my general life and also my trade as a bricklayer. Im a big fan of the great outdoors including wild camping and Van-life stuff. I also like to make home brew and blow the froth off a couple whenever i get the chance . Absolutely massive animal lover so i love to spend time with my dog and I’m also a Pescatarian…..cheers

Nice job, how have you got on with them since? +1 to double up the nuts if you haven’t got any ny-loc locking nuts You might stop the wobble with a few triangles of ply or osb screwed over the joints to brace them. I’ve made a few different versions to find one that works for me. I might have to make and upload a video one day if I get the time. Hope the back is feeling better 👍

How would you stop the wobble. And what do you mean by 'stop the wobble with a few triangle of play or osb screw over the joints'

I've been t Glastonbury many time, but it's now too big and too many "bucket-listers" and middle class vloggers. Tried a smaller festival a couple of times but a bit too young and pop/chart focussed. But I think this might be the perfect solution for me and my 50+ mates, it looks brilliant. Just the right type of people and artists for me. Thanks for the great video, I'm on the mailing list for next year.
@theresmortarlife8527
@theresmortarlife8527 2 года назад
Really is a fantastic festival. So relaxed and chilled with a friendly vibe. Also very clean and with the band line up it’s very much suited to us middle aged folk..lol. It was tricky doing the video as it flagged up loads of copyright laws so I couldn’t do it justice
