Bucket Pallet Fork Fabrication

[PILOON]

The most frustrating drilling job I ever came across was in a bed frame. That metal was HARD!

Yes, you need good drill bits.
Also not all thet easy to weld some of them.

Cobalt drill bits will drill through bed frames all day long, even longer with CRC drill/tap spray. I made a lot of stuff with bed frame, self brackets to ATV trailers, have to use 70-wire to weld it.
Nice job on the forks, if you lift something round like logs, put something like a piece square stock, foot or so long pointing forward on top of your vertical post. On my forks, I pin my vertical post in that has a forward rod pointing forward on top, so when I lift something round it wont roll back on me when the loader is up.

GOOD POINT! :thumbsup:
I think I'll bend an "angled adapter" that I can bolt onto the top of the vertical upright. I have some 2" wide 1/4" bar that would work.

I see you are up in Liberty Maine...I was up there 3 weeks ago with a friend visiting his neighbor who has a cottage on St George Lake. Really beautiful country up there. Took the wives to Camden and Belfast...but only after a few hours of fishing!
