I took a trip to the salvage lot today and came home with a short piece of 18"x3/8 wall pipe for my wheels. The bad news is that my plasma is not efficient cutting 3/8. BTW to anyone looking at a plasma, I am still kicking myself for not buying the next larger size cutter.
I marked it out and used paint tape for a guide. The new delicate paint tape sticks very well yet it peels right off when you are ready.
I hated to but I used 10 metabo original slicer disc and ended up with 4 sections for my wheels.
While I was there I grabbed several 1" ID pipe drops for the axle.
I stopped by metal by the foot and grabbed a piece of mechanical tubing that fit just right inside of my 1".
I had the re-bar for the spokes.
A little drawing on the bench and a tiny bit of guessing and I had it layed out.
I had to finish my front legs and shelf support so that I could work on the wheel location, so now all I need is the expanded shelf.
Here is what I ended up with.
P.S. Do any of you guys that live close to kansas city have any experience with mig welding aluminum with a spool gun? Thats my next venture.
Sorry ya all, I know this is like cave man style since we all have been watching Flua's build. Flua, pls don't look to close man, I am far far behind your skill level.
Thank You All for taking the time to look.
