Hope your not taking the micky out of my welding lol I can melt metal with the best of them


matt
you need to turn the welder on again and put some weld on the joints ,it looks like youve only tacked them together with pidgeon poo
                 good welding and plenty of amps cutting in the joint quality job, few more amps and it will be trying to plazmer cut through:lol:   cracking weld there only joking matt ,take it you`ve done a fare amount of welding as thats not looking like the usually diy grade there ,thats what i call the sun tan brigade grade  
kev

Cheers kev , you could say I done quite a bit of welding in past lol !

Il get some paint on it later , need to go fetch some coach bolts this week

I know but i will be different and one of a kind which may get it noticed a bit more .

Well its your engine so you can do what you want! are you painting them or leaving them the way they are?

sprayed black as the rest of the feet where they will be atached to is black bar so will have to tie in with each other .

think it look quite nice once its done .

matt

Decided to make a trolley from scratch as the timbers was too short , but made it from softwood as a temporary measure and will replace with hardwood when i get some .






feet made but not in right position as have to cut and weld handle mounting brackets to the feet yet and drill holes



this is where the handles will be but you wont see that bar from the feet .



matt

looks good but isn't it a bit low

It be fine , with the design im making they all seemed low unless you had bolsters that bolted under like Abes , but then he has got much bigger wheels too . When its being moved it be picked up anyway so no trouble with moving about .

matt

are going to make two little wheels for loading, like abes

Lewis MacRae wrote:are going to make two little wheels for loading, like abes

we shall see , but i have got some wheels i could do .

matt

Nice bit of steel working Matt, your making a great job of that.

Looking good mate coming on well nice bit of hardwood and the jobs a goodun lol

I agree Abes , but i need the engine movable as its in the way for the arival of my new engine . Next week i will get the rest of handles finished and bolted on then engine can be lifted on .

matt

right lads for those who dont know the trolley is completed .

Lewis MacRae wrote:looks great, but the handles?

yes what about them ?

I don't know, I'm not that keen on them but if you like them then that's great as it's your engine!

Lewis MacRae wrote:I don't know, I'm not that keen on them but if you like them then that's great as it's your engine!

there plenty of american engines that got same style handles , round bar that has been waisted for your hands to sit to hold onto otherwise your hands could slip off !
