Had a little free time tonite

So I started on a easy project , it would have been easier if I had more then scrap steel R) . I had to weld a couple pieces together .Id figure Id make a tire carrier Ive been planing . I spent about a hour on it tonite Hopfully if I get a hour or 2 tommrow Ill be able to finish it.


and the mock up

Ive got a little more done then the pics let on , I got the center piece cut and the latching plate done .More to come tommrow nite hopfully.

 

Go man.

 

Well this is welding warm up , Im on call this weekend so I figured I would do this during the week for practice . This weekend Im going to weld all my Saggie stuff in place.

 

Allright. I need to practice a bit more with my welder before I tackle my steering mounts.

 

looks gud,...

 

Keep up the good work.

 

Got home before 7 tonite so did a wee bit more before I had to get ready for church .
Final mock up notice my gen/welder ,paid 900 bucks for it 10 years ago One of the best purchases I have made . 1000s of hours on her still going strong.



Framed and hinged


Out of time

 

Almost there!

 

A little more in between the turkey



I started on the gas can holder but it was dark and I didnt want to goof it up

My latch , I need to do some cleaning


So far I have 34 bucks for the latch ,3.49 for the pivot pin and 1.99 for the bushing for a total of 39.48 R) R) well that and 3 bucks in gas and about the same in welding rods.

 

Sweet! I wish I had a portable Generator/Welder. Nice purchase

 

I owe yall a update



never did finish my jerry can holder , just need to drill holes for the mounting bolts and weld on the security straps . its c clamped on in the pic

 

I like the use of the wheel hub and bearings..has always made sense to me to have one on hand for emergencies.

 

I thought so to , I also have a end cap to put on there too in case a lock out hub dies on me .

 

I like the locking handle you fabbed up. Great job.

 

very nice! any detail pics of the gerry can mount?

 

I have a locking strap I need to weld onto it , after that Ill take a few pics .

 

Thx!

 

Looks good!

Any rattles?

 

The handle on the high lift does a little , but its not secured either . I need to buy a handle keeper for it . Ironically enough I had them in stock at the store I used to manage and never bought one. R)

 

looks great. I need a welder generator. Then I can get the projects done.
