Perfect thanks. Like the cleat idea and wondered about what was in the channel Thanks

Great thread. Love you work. What did you use to attach cabinets to the channel?

Love that!

Thanks for the apps, Love them!

Hope you have better luck with your heater. Bought same one and I'm lucky if I can get my garage up to 50 degrees with it. Never really blows hot hot air. Kinda feels warm. Let me know how it works for you.

I am a bit confused. Just because it looks like a tig weld why does it mean it is weak? Have seen this done then cut apart and it is a full penetration. How can you tell from that picture? Asking as a novice welder that is..

If you do use epoxy paint do not use Ucoat it. I did it in two garages. Great with fluids and tires, but where I work, weld and grind it is already worn off. The other garage is for storage/assembly and has scratched pretty badly. Guess I have to live with as getting it off would be a...

I bought the porter cable and love it. No history with the Fein, sorry. Think the PC is cheaper. Does everything they say it can do.

Right now it would be a manual setting of arm then lock it, but once I get to the next stage budget wise...unless I can do the animation fairly cheaply... I would need it to be very responsive. With the cranes I have, the robo heads are controlled by a joystick and servo motors. I would like to...

kbs2244 - Yes will have a good mount both top and bottom. That part I have figured out. Just not how to rotate and lock everything. Sureshot - thanks for the brake info. The pics are not my rig, just ones I have grabbed off of the internet. Thanks

Well, these are other peoples versions of what I want to do. I have nothing together right now that would show it any better. Their posts are fixed. The atv one, the arm clamps to their post and rotates at the clamp. I want to rotate at top and bottom. The car version is probably closer to...

To better explain drawings: There is a central post, the 6 x 6 alum tube. The round objects top and bottom would be the bearings/spindles/whatever I decide to rotate post The two vertical kinda rectangular objects are the slide tracks that mount to post. One is grey and the other has a weird...

Thanks for reply. Not sure what you mean by "make the slide portion round with a square hole in it". Sliders are linear motion track that mounts to something with square edge. As far as the post size, the cameras and robo heads can weigh up to 300lbs with it being cantilevered from post. The...

This forum has been incredibly helpful so I figured I would throw this out there as well. I have an atv that I have turned into a camera vehicle. It will hold either a camera crane or a steadicam setup or robotic cameras. I am in the middle of making the robo portion of the rig and am stuck at...

All great info, thanks!
