Burnt off some turkey

It was a piece of 10" schedule 80 black iron pipe kicking around at work.

Curious how you made your stub shafts.

Only way I've seen is to machine two round disks that will slip fit in the tube. Then drill or burn holes in the tube so the inner disk can be plug welded. The outter disk is welded around the circumference.

The shaft is welded to the two disks first.

Anyone got an easier (less machining way) to accomplish this?

THANKS.

Ron, thats exactly right, machine shop where I work is always very accomodating. I wanted them water tight as I drilled a 3/4" hole in one end to be able to fill with water for weight.

Finally got to use the aeorator today. This pic was on grass that is rooted fairly well.

This was on an area that the grass is not very dense yet.

This is a finished view of the beast.
