The paint guy at work asked me to make something adjustable for the different size pallet jacks.
The stands are what we used to get the counter weights on for the fork trucks we build. A little slice and dice and there you go. They work great. ( people used to drop them, not picking them up properly and raising them up waist high.)
The hyd motor rack is a space saver. The jig for snapping the plastic clips together was the first thing I made when hired on, I had a lot of fun making it.
Here’s a few pic’s of me moving the mill out of the old shaky garage into it’s new home. I built it using 8” SIP’S, I love it. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter. I rarely use the AC and run a small oil filled radiator on 65* in the winter. I have a dehumidifier I run at 40% all the time. It’s South Carolina it’s humid all the time…
I made a security door for a check cashing place, they got broke into a lot..
A made the little cart for my Miller 211, I loved that welder, but had a chance to upgrade to a 252 and sold it. The crank handle on the Monarch was missing, the tail stock is really heavy. Pushing it around got old. (they tell me they broke the old one when last moving the machine, and tossed it!)
The tumbler I made but wasn’t my ideal. I told the engineer it wasn’t going to work, and it didn’t. it’s using a welding positioner, way slow, noisy, not meant to turn for 8hrs a day. I think one of the guy’s turned it into a grill. There’s more but not as interesting, just work. Oh I do have one more to show you, I’ll have to get it off my phone. I machined a prototype casting for the oil filter, at home on my lathe, work wasn’t happy I did it there. At that time we had no DRO’s on the lathe. Since then we now have a few more bells and whistles.
I’m really impressed with everyone’s work on here, where do you find the time for your projects! I’m ending a long, long, remodel so I hope to have a little more time on my hands to have more time in my shop. I no longer have the old Dodge, Man that was a great truck, I really miss having a front hitch.
