A Couple Recent Projects

admin

Here's a couple recent projects I thought people might find useful.The first is a little tig stuff caddy.  It holds filler rod, tungsten, torch parts, a helmet hook, and a little tray to hold whatever.  I had it designed and partially build and when I started making the drawers I realized a Huot drill box fit perfectly.  It ended up working better than anything I could have made and saved a bunch of time.  The dividers fit a full length piece of tungsten perfectly.  I still have to pickup some casters to put on it and a rubber pad for the top tray.The second is a little positioner I put together.  I picked up a motor and controller off eBay and the rest is stuff I had floating around the shop.  The rotating main tube rides on ceramic skateboard bearings.  The whole unit angles from horizontal to vertical.

Reply:J, your work is really top of the line!!  Your positioner took some thought in the design, I like the through hole concept.  Best  Bob
