I'm getting ready to make a pipe roller (weld positioner) to do some pipe.
I'm going to use a motor from a bbq pit, and think I can rheostat that
down to make it work.

I have access to shopping cart wheels all the time, and figure I'll get
some and make an alignment jig, and really make my cover 7018 figure 8 to
make it look nice. Kinda fudgin' for a 6g certified weldor, but what the
heck? This is for sale. And this is going to be less than the 4" in 6g
anyway, and I'm not that fast a mover to run a 6g half pipe pass around a
short length of 2" pipe.

What kind of things do you use shopping cart wheels for? I mean, what
WOULD you use them for, if it wasn't illegal to take them? And does that
apply to those that have been hit by a '88 Caddy, and are all twisted up?

I did take one of the nice metal baskets and use it for a dirt sifter for
the garden. The fold up feature works great, too, for dumping the rocks.

I've got the bottom half of a shopping trolley that I grabbed from landfill
in the early eighties. I use it for pushing heavy stuff around on it used to
park a 6cyl engine on for a few years. Surprisingly tough.
