Pit Cart Project Started

[Waldon52]

Thanks , Today I will finish up the rack and then move to the front to build a shelf over the front axle and modify another folding shelf by the egg smoker. Should get that done and get everything painted by suppertime. Waiting for a couple more little signs to arrive in the mail to attach to it.

As usual it looks amazing, and you have done 3 months of work in about a week.

I was wondering about the triple axle too, but my question was how well it would steer with three axles on the back. It looks pretty heavy, so it might take a bit to drag some of those wheels sideways. Have you tried to wheel it around yet? If so how hard is it when turning?

Thanks , Yes it crossed my mind too when I added the extra two axles so I built them to barely touch the pavement , just enough so they go around but no real weight on them. I knew everytime I pulled it out of the garage it would have to be turned and pulled out at a sharp angle. Today I did pull it out in the driveway from the workshop. It pulled very easy and it steered great. It looks kind of heavy but it is really quite light. It rolled very nice on those big tires. I backed it in against the front garage wall and it turned very nice with no abstruction from the extra two axles. I know it doesn't make sense to have those extra axles but I like axles and lots of wheels. Deb thinks I need counciling , lol . Not sure what I will be puttering on next week but I'm sure I'll be in the shop. Winter has gone by much quicker with me going to the shop a few hours everyday.:drink:

Nice. Take some pictures of your shop and we'll make up some new projects for you.

Got to get the shop cleaned first, ha,ha. Yesterday I also pulled out the new portable worktable from the shop into the driveway for the first time. It steered very nice and pulled very smooth. I really like the toolbox mounted below it with all my nuts, bolts, screws, etc. so close. I also really like the work surface being a few inches taller. In the spring I will pull all three pit carts out and hook them together for a group photo. I think that would look pretty cool. :dance1:

Walton I'm going to start a thread on here to get people's interest to rent some Gray Hound buses and come up to your place for a "field trip" to see all your stuff.!! Whata you think.

You can charge admission. :laughing:

Ha, Ha, Ha, 99% of the things I have built over the years have been sold . There isn't a lot to see . Collectors have a lot of my stuff .

Most people are a little let down when they stop to see my little workspace and see none of the big models are here to show them. They are always very nice and it is fun visiting but I feel kinda bad they were expecting to see a lot more.

I believe people would be more than interested in hearing about your projects. You got an amazing talent.
My son lives in Royal Oak. He'd be amazed.
