making a new mig welder *dolly*, movie online "true metalworkingfluff"
I'm changing the wheels (got new ones, for both ends). I have to 'adapt'
them to the casters at the steering end. the axle diam is BIGGER for the new wheels. also changing *everything* at the non-steer end: got a MUCH stouter axle (1.1875 as opposed to the old .750 axle). and NEW "much better quality" big-end wheels having to order steel online is a freakin' NUISANCE. the shipping is more than the STEEL. nobody in town here sells 1.1875 cold-rolled round. sheesh. I'm changing the frame of it, too (thicker, heavier, and "full perimeter, end to end" this time). the only part I'm actually re-using is the two old swivel-caster FRAMES, but I'm changing the 'method of' steering 'em, too. other than that, no changes :-) see "some of the glory, and most of the fluff" online here, in a wonderful movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvIR-0LXYvY soon to be seen, too: maybe a quick movie of my 1700 lb BANDSAW-CARRIER dolly, carrying the saw, with me dragging it around. should be exciting. "stay tuned" many thanks :-) Mr. Bubba |
