Nice camper.

I've been working this summer from time to time on finishing my pole barn so that I can eventually heat it. Decided to take a break from that and get a project done that I have been wanting to do for a year. I am something of a organization freak and have hated lumber leaning against walls or in stacks on the floor, so I finally built my wood rack.
The back has an 8" gap for plywood. The front has four shelves for lumber and then there are some cubbies for shorts.
Of course I just noticed that I still need to go back and add some more lag bolts where I am hanging it from my loft. Sounds like a good reason to check the mini-fridge again tomorrow. :laughing:

Oooooooo. I really really really like that. How far out do your horizontals extend?

Thanks, I think it'll work out good.
They extend 18.5" so that a couple 2x10's can lay down (on the top shelf) side by side. Other than the the magic behind me picking that number is I had several scrap 2x4's at that length that I decided to use for it. :laughing:
Difficult to see, but there are a few cubby places for bits and pieces to fit in. I am really going to like that. Seems I always have scraps that are a couple feet and I know I will use them down the road.
I figure the 8" gap for plywood in the back will hold a couple new full length pieces as well as plenty of scrap pieces. So that should work out.

Unipunch C frames are always available on eBay but I couldn’t find any info on utilizing them without a proper press brake.
unipunch - Google Search
I came across some locally and decided to see if I could use them in my hydraulic press. The four frames I got were “B” series and capable of 1/2 inch holes in 10 gauge.
I drilled pilot holes in my bed plate for frame alignment.

Always wanted to happen across some Unipunches for square hole punching, etc. Need to do some research to understand what I can do as far as thickness/dia hole sizes with my 20T press.

Pls. keep us posted on what you learn. I suspect a few of us have 20-ton presses. :thumbsup:

I built a crane for my wood splitter. I’ve never used that method before so we’ll see how it works.

Question for some of you here. If I need to start a new thread I will just tell me.
I’m getting ready to redo some 4-wheel wagons for hauling round bales of hay. Never understood load tables. No engineering background.
I’m wanting to use either 2x8 c channel or box tubing for the main frame runners. I’ll have a span of about 12 feet. 16 foot beds. Currently bales are about 1,000lbs each. Would like to haul 8 bales and also be able to upsize bales in future. What thickness steel do I need? I’m thinking 3/16.
The 8 inches is to clear the tires on one wagon frame. It’s a low rider. Then use 8 foot lumber for bed.
Currently they’re using 3x8 oak.

I’m not an engineer yet, but I tend to overbuild things. The cost of totally scraping or straightening and reinforcing a frame is astronomical compared to just using 3/8 thick.

It’s surprising how many foot switches for various machines I have “floating” around. I spent the weekend building enclosures, adding handles and mounting one permanently to tidy things up and in general making them more user friendly.
I have a few more to go but I’m done for the day.

Nice Terry! ...funny I was just messing around with one of foot switch pedals today trying to see if I could get it to function for both my porta-band saw and my 20T press.
I did finally get my press brake painted after fabricating the Swag kit a few years ago... I thought the red paint would be a good 'warning' color. Surprised I still found the Swag decal that I waited to apply after paint. Yeah, the fluorescent shop light zip tied to the press is a bit red neck but until I find a LED solution, it will do.

The paint looks good, Mark! You didn’t get the “finger” brake?

No, and sort of kicking myself. The third or fourth time I used my press I realized it would probably been worth it.

I got some channel iron. There’s 16 pieces of 6” 4 4” pieces plus a few pieces of angle iron. The channel iron is 1/4 wall, 10” long and I gave $170. I plan on using some of it to build a custom trailer for my Grasshopper.

Good find indeed. All painted for rust protection too. You must mean 10' not 10" though.

I had a remote spin on filter left over from something I had disassembled long ago. I decided to mount it on the rear of my 33 year old solvent tank for filtration beyond the mesh strainer most of them have.
The photos show how handy a high lift pallet jack comes in.
