Sherweld, I was also admiring your design & especially like the hook-style bracket for hanging the forks. I am assuming that the bar/pipe mounted above the angle the forks hang from is a retainer so they slide, but won't pop off? You don't have a little closer pics of that detail do you?
I had started cutting metal for a bucket-mounted (no QA), non-adjustable trash fork until I saw your set-up & I'm now revising it to have multiple, sliding/removable forks.
Thanks, TD
Correct on the bar/pipe.
Here's a pic. of "hook" under construction.
Still making up my mind as to final detent detail. I'll live with it for a bit as is, and see what might be required.
Weight of a finished fork 43.7# as built. Did not weigh frame, but guessing in the 8o-100# range because I can still manage to carry it around.
Regards
Sherweld
