made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

well i was sick of pushing my car around the shop on wheels and decided to make a stand/cradle.

it cost about $20 and some scrap steel from the welding table i made a few months back.

Hot. I want whats on it though.

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

Are they locking casters?

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

no little petal, so no

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

yeah i got 2 locking casters and put them on one side, so i didn't have to walk around to lock them.

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

i wonder what max weight capacity is.
call up a bunch of your fat friends and have them jump in there one at a time.

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

i think it would depend on the casters. these are just cheap 150 lb casters.

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

i gotta say that is pretty ------- cool

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

nig can weld O0

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

Man I wish I could weld as good as that.

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

it surprised me that there wasn't any dirt in the welds, sense it is mild steel. i built this in about 20 min so i didn't care about warping or heating the ---- out of the caster plates.

oh and this was all 1/8th inch wall tube/pipe. using 1/16th er70s2 rod.

turbob16hatch what are your casters rated at? jw?

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

If you look carefully you can see he removed the scale, this is a necessary part of welding steels, but often missed.

Remember, much like paintwork, the key to making good welds is proper preparation.

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

You talking to me, i'm confused?

you do know i built it, right?

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

Ack, I wasn't paying attention and somehow missed the fact that you were the guy that built it. :8

The reason YOU didn't see any "dirt" in the welds has nothing to do with the fact that it is mild steel.

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

Too fancy. Nobody can ---- with furniture dollies.

Then I realize the OP is making a sick manifold for me. :6

prep is for n00bs,
6010 for the win!

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

i said that more or less because i tossed this together and welded it up.

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

That ---- is nice.

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

Nice... Daddy like

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

Yo.. ---- YOU, you fat, jelly-filled muthaFUKKKA!! :6

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

That's just not nice. Be easy on the fat kids.

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

damnit now i gotta build one.

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

Sweeeet.

For a few dollars more you can get some swaged tube, from Afco or the like, and make the track width adjustable so it's not just ED-chassis specific. You know you're going to have more than one project in your life. :6

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

sweet :6

Re: made a little stand/cradle for my car.
 

I sold that to him for WAAAAAAY more than I wanted to get for it, but he offered. It has looked like that ever since.

At the rate that the CRX is going that will be a lifelong project. It's right on track to be finished in 2015 with the stealth shuttle (and my rice rocket).
