My shop is usually in the shade of a tree in the yard. All tools are carried to and fro so I truly understand so everything actually GOT where I was going. Not knowing how the "wings" I have envisioned will turn out I had not thought much about the space under the saw... the thoughts had...

Engineering advice Needed I've gotten all the angle iron boxed. I have the 8 bottom gussets in place. I have the location for the two saw support cross-members. These cross-members interfere with the location of the two long gussets. What to do? Still two, long as possible? What...

What a day - Just Pay the Light Bill Nice saw stand, I'll start the head scratching. Today has been one of those you remember for a long time. Yesterday afternoon I added angle iron to the two short sides. I did not have enough to do the longer two. So I called my metal supply and the lady...

BukitCase Thank you for your guidance, I need all the help I can get. Don't concern yourself with any competition from me. I generate very little and am on the east coast, you will not even notice me. All the pictures before today were just sketches no scale. I am trying to teach myself how...

AS an ENGINEER my thoughts are NOT ME but if you are or just know the answer would you answer a couple of questions? In the picture on the right is where I thought I'd be at this stage when I first got started. On the left is what I have built so far with the exception of the 8 bottom...

There are many reasons for a person to not check into this site. But when an older person is doing a project apparently alone in an out of the way place that could be dangerous for a young person... Should another older person who knows nothing of the facts raise alarm half way around the...

I'm sure this is simpler than I understood. Let me explain to myself. set 22.5 angle cut 22.5 angle the two did not fit as I expected turned the saw fence to 90 butted the 22.5 cut into fence clamped and cut needed some adjustment (what did you expect?) 45 looks close not...

Okay had to come in to put on some dry clothes... What is that little thinggie on the back of the boat.(Click on the little picture above to get it large enough to see) Is that where you put the fuel or is that something you throw a rope around to tow a barge? Come on post some pictures. Is...

Still in "Wish you'd tell me what I need to do" mode. I know there are some more good ideas out there, I just haven't been able to find them. Edit added pics with wings down

What's wrong with this picture? Yes, I have found some design flaws that basically required start over. First the front wheels were just a touch too close to the main frame. This allowed the tires to touch the frame and not turn as sharply as I wanted. Adding a piece of 3/8 inch flat bar...

This is 'kinda' where I'm heading... Gotta love how easy to import from the 3D Warehouse. Mine is a bit older than this one but since this was the only choice it works just fine. ideas? suggestions?

Moving slowly along... getting old is more fun than being old :laughing:

Another day of rain. Tried my hand at putting it in Sketchup. I'm 80% done with the front axle (but have no idea of how to draw it) and 98% with the rear axle. The wheels are from the 3D Warehouse. The 5/8 inch bolt I intend to join the front axle to the rest of the base is starting to look...

Our April Showers mostly did away with May. Not having a real roof on my shop - the tree now has leaves but they leak- was what created this need and only a very few non rainy days in over a month has helped get very little done on this project. I am still very open to ideas and suggestions...

I am getting less able to pick it all up and move it outside into the 'shop'. I want to build a stand with 4 10" HF wheels that will easily roll over the yard. Somewhere I believe I saw a stand made from square tubing that had an extension that doubled the width of the saw table on the left...

Got it off the ground. Will probably replace the top connection with a little longer and heavier flat bar and a shorter 3/8 inch bolt just used what I already had. :)

I am sure this has been done before but I have been unable to find just how to do it. click on above to see enlarged. (points to hook the 3 point shown in red) The dirt under my tree no longer allows me to smoothly move my engine hoist around and the fold down legs always find something...

I dropped my phone yesterday and it no longer will take pictures. I draw about as well as I write so... Thanks for trying to help... I can't even explain it to myself. :confused3:

I want to use a piece of 1/4 x 2 x 2 angle iron for an axle. I cut 2 - 2 inch pieces for the ends. Will bore a hole and attach wheels with a bolt. What is the best way to align the ends for welding?

This will be category 0 3 point lightweight forks, can the angle iron be turned this way or would a L shape be better? Forks ~34 inches long Frame 20 inches wide.

This is with a 420 mower deck - somewhere north of 300 pounds. I really want to get an AlZ LoadLifter I really like having the load out front where I can see what's going on. Turning my head...

I'm not in mid-life crises way too late for that, but there are many things that I've been meaning to do that if I don't get to it they aren't going to get done. I'm going to try and forget about the things that I used to be able to do and can't any more and do as much as I can of what I can...

Want to start out with a Miller Multimatic 200 where can I get the best on line price?

I bought this 1983 John Deere 318 without a motor a year or so ago. I am just getting around to getting it running. Have a motor installed and put on a mower deck. Pulled back on the outside lever and nothing happened. Sprayed the levers and valve with WD-40 and tapped the levers with a...
