New welding project

<< < (2/3) > >>

Powder Keg:
Went crazy with the thin cuts earlier. The tank cut out really nice. I also trimmed up the bicycle forks a little. It should make a nice trailer.



I'm going to make a jig to hold things straight when I weld it up. It will double as a jig to line up the forks for my Penny when I weld them.

I like how it's turning out :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

This is looking very cool!

How are things at Kodiak?

Powder Keg:
Thanks!

Work is good. Were pretty busy though. They finally got the big old CNC fixed. Now I run two mills at a time. I'm getting better with the 4th axis, but it still makes me nervous.

Have you seen my molding bench? If not I can take some pictures for you. It works great!!!

That's a great idea.  I made a two wheeled trailer several years ago using wheels and frame fittings from Wike:

These are easy to build as it involves a bit of aluminum square bar, a hacksaw and a drill.

At the time I planned to carry quite a bit of weight and my folding bike won't take a one wheeled trailer.  It worked out well considering that I don't weld but yours looks more interesting and in the long run more useful.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

John.

Dean W:
Looks pretty neat, Wes.  You have enough propane tank left to make a trailer for Mrs. Powder Keg, too.
Do you both ride to work?
