My recent projects

admin

This is a work platform. I recently made two this size. They are 88" long, 18" wide and 9.5" tall.I am currently building two more of these 95" in length.These are brackets I made that will hold handle which slide in and out to push around carts at a tile factory. I made 48 of them.This is kind of a crappy bumper I made for a friend in only a coule hours with some scrap pieces I had. He was getting tickets for not having one on his truck at the time.

Reply:I tend to overbuild things, and I am a big guy. That said, since I work in gravel, I would have put little gussets on each of those legs of the platform. That is just me, but I like it."Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!! I sent him over to snag that MIC-4 while tbone wasn't looking!" - duaneb55"I have bought a few of Tbone's things unlike Stick-Man who helps himself" - TozziWelding"Stick-man"
Reply:Thanks for the tip stickman, I'll look into adding gussets to the two I'm building now. Also will be using something other than rubber on the feet, possibly 2" or 3" dia washers.Chicks Dig Body DamageMiller Dynasty 200dxHobart Handler 187Lincoln AC 225
Reply:That bumper is epic.
Reply:Started a cart for my mig welder. It's a Hobart 187. Not anything special just figured i post up.Cut out a few pieces to get a head start before work.Here's a couple pics of a BBQ smoker I've been working on here and there. Its not mine and not a paying job so the longer it takes me the longer I get to use it..I added an old axle I had and a tonque to make it a pull behind smoker.Chicks Dig Body DamageMiller Dynasty 200dxHobart Handler 187Lincoln AC 225
Reply:Got a little bit done on the cart for my mig.tacked up the sides of the frame.I used this cheapo clamp for the square corners and it actually worked aright.Got this far and then it started to rain.The front wheels are tacked in place and the rears will be mounted outboard a couple inches for stability and so they'll swivel.Chicks Dig Body DamageMiller Dynasty 200dxHobart Handler 187Lincoln AC 225
Reply:Got my cart rollin' last night and also mounted the tank.Here's the assmebly for the rear wheels.Used some expanded metal to support the tank and came up with this to hold the tank in place.Chicks Dig Body DamageMiller Dynasty 200dxHobart Handler 187Lincoln AC 225
Reply:Hi Homemadenice cart you may find out as I did now all tanks are the same size.  I too made a strap to go around my tanks.  But the next time I bought a refill the tank was slightly bigger in diameter.  My last one I took in was a 125 tank a they gave me a 150 which was 3" taller.  I park my cart under a wall cabinet don't you know I had to raise the cabinet so the new tank would fit. have funTomLast edited by acourtjester; 05-01-2012 at 05:50 PM.Reason: spelling
Reply:I need a refill too...lol hope I get the same size.oh but if they're the same dia. I'll be ok. The height really isn't a concern for me at the moment anyways. Thanks for the heads up though.Last edited by homemadexj; 05-01-2012 at 10:17 PM.Chicks Dig Body DamageMiller Dynasty 200dxHobart Handler 187Lincoln AC 225
