Replace the stupid, hard-to-get-to drain valve on your air compressor with galvanized pipe, a couple elbows, and a ball valve. Now the water sits in an easily replaced piece of pipe not in the compressor tank itself, it's much easier to drain, and doesn't blow oily water all over your hand...

cool. I did a project for a friend who had everything cut to length at Wasatch and cuts were actually +- 1/4" and seldom square.

Ham radio with APRS...

check the length carefully, most places seem to cut +- an inch or two.

It's such a PITA to get metal so when I go I tend to build a stockpile. Mostly 1", 1.25" thinwall square tubing, 3 /16" x 1" flat bar, 1/8" x 3" flat, etc. I need to get into the habit of running by Metalmart on Sat. mornings and peruse their drops pile. I really wish I had more room to store...

I read that and can't tell if the axle is adjustable or if there are different angle options that can be ordered

Also Metalmart in Lehi and they're open Sat. mornings.

Thanks for the tip but I ended up making my own https://www.rme4x4.com/threads/making-steel-wheels-for-my-tig-cart.114822/

My issue with the previous wheels was how far out the axle protruded. I'm looking forward to tucking the axles in much closer.

Here is how I make the rims. The metal will bend about the center line as you roll it out so the length of the flat stock is determined by the diameter of the wheel at the center of the rim thickness. In my case, 7-5/8" so 7.625 * pi = 23.95".. call it 24. rolling that puppy out with the...

Realized this today while making the steel wheels for my tig cart..... proper clamping for heavy drilling or machining

Making steel wheels for my TIG cart https://www.rme4x4.com/threads/making-steel-wheels-for-my-tig-cart.114822/

finally, I used my HF ring roller to make the rim

Cart build is here https://www.rme4x4.com/threads/building-a-tig-cart.114259/ So after trying a couple purchased wheels I decided to make my own from 3/16" x 1" flat strap. First stop, cut 10 pieces for the spokes, 5 each wheel: Then I tested to see if my 6" hole saw was up to the task (it...

oops, just checked and it's 55lb not 65. I guess I'm just old and feeble.

I'm really happy with my Kodiak clone of it. The Kodiak is 8x9 vs 7x8 for the Springbar which when coupled with slightly more vertical walls leaves room for 2 cots (well away from the walls) and a large table. As said above, it's a heavy beast at over 65lbs. When the soil is shallow over rock...

You were spot on here. I've been searching for replacements and found what I want on Amazon for a screaming deal, but they only have 1, grrrrr. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004071T2M/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER I may have to drag out the ring roller and make my...

A guy at work gave me his old Deity plastic ones. Sooo much better that the crap that came on the bike.

I hate it when that happens :)

I but you could pull that flat. a couple of 1/4" plates with holes, one inside the frame and one outside. throw a couple bolts in there and break out the impact gun.
