now progressing along

Break for some primer

It turns out to be way too tall once locked up in place. So what should I do? Make it into a bi-fold gate of course!

added this foot

Then cut the bottom two feet off

This one of four summer/vacation project I've initiated for August. Half way finished replacing my neighbor's fence with my other neighbor's donated fence! It's kind of pretty being multi colored hahaha

Third project is to replace the perlins in the GH from wood to metal tubing. I'm half way done with that as well

The fourth is a deck on the back of the house. I've only been collecting supplies for that job.

You might want to lengthen the axle so you have a dualie, the small trailer can now hold a bigger load

Busy. Have fun.

Welding is a very useful talent to have...comes in handy
often. You're also recycling perfectly good materials that
might have gone into waste. GREAT!

 

[SlipperKing]

Rebuild the bottom half, add hinges

It works!

Now it weighs a ton.....so..

Add spring assistant for easy up/down with one hand only

You can haul a boatload of orchids on that!

Now what, SK? It seems the project is mutating...or maybe not.

Good work, Rick. Do you use arc or acetylene?

 

[abax]

Perhaps I should have said evolving?

 

[SlipperKing]

I have both Dot but this was arc.
I'll go for that Angela!

My father was a pipe fitter/welder by trade. I got his expertise and supplies. As I mentioned, I welded my way through college.

I've done a lot of acetylene welding for my MFA, emphasis sculpture. Who knew I'd end up in photography and digital imaging?!

Is the evolution complete? What did the work evolve into?
