Ok...let's start with the obvious - DAMN IT @zmotorsports/mike...Links, part numbers, make it happen! I have OCD, ADD, and a full time job. I see you've optimized something, found a better way, AND it's about clean hands? A$$. Just brain dump some links so I can move on to make my wife happy...

So dysfunctional but this is the kind of $hit that get's me locked in. Could be I can easily imagine setting it all up and checking it twice. DRO, Kurt vise gleaming...either way, this is what it's all about. +/- is where we are within the grey. o_O

Didn’t get a ton done today. Got the oven placed. Had to block it to get it off the skates. Realized that I’d need way more blocks so I cut the long one into 12” sections. Took three to get it high enough to install the feet. Lined up the rack to see how much it needs to be lifted...

Right not it isn’t, just using a welding coamp To keep it on the runner cart. Planning to make a spring clamp that can be released with a foot petal. Hm. Could be. Maybe make it remote controlled so I can do it from work. Would bring max braggin rights me thinks Nice, you’re gonna love it...

Worked out the rails, final length and width. Can’t weld the bolts in place until I know how long they need to be. Ones almost completely done. Second one like it half way…

The bottom (runner) cart elevates the top (parts) cart to the same height as the inside of the oven so it can just roll in, no ramp necessary. The top cart will more or less live on the bottom cart when outside of the oven. The bottom cart can and will be powder coated and be nice because it...

While the fixtures are set up, each step is repeated exactly twice. Back to the runner. The parts rack will be a tight fit in the oven and I want the transfer to be graceful and quick so I don’t have to leave the door of the oven open very long. To accomplish this the runner will have...

Brackets were cut on the table and bent. The frame will receive rivnuts so the bracket and head ache rack will be removable enabling customizations in the future when parts need different rigging. Shimming is necessary to account for the head height of the rivnuts. Then it’s just...

Been busy as hell. Bunch of business trips and in between we took out daughter on half a dozen college visits. Still made a little progress on the powder coating oven carts. There’s two parts to the assembly - the runner and the oven cart. The oven cart is what rolls into the oven with parts...

Love the progress. Can’t wait to see it move. But you can’t wait to see it move more! Note on the hardware purge I’ve shifted away from keeping random stuff as well however, I have started to accumulate things that fit into the typical need category. It’s such a freaking waste to have to drive...

Hm. I have a Kubota and mine will go to the ground but it has little metal stops that would dig into the ground preventing me from doing any smoothing when pushing or pulling with the bucket tilted up. Maybe I’m not getting it - what I do is drag/pull with the bucket almost flat to smooth...

Glad to see you back at it Gregor, green looks Good on you. 😉

Well, I’ve already come up with something. Wanna save it tho so no one else tries to beat me to it. I think it’s really appropriate and sticks with my historical theme a bit. 😉

It’s a Dr Who phone booth 😂 And you think they’re not somehow involved? Nope, max temp is about < 500 degrees or gaskets start to melt…

I’m dang close. So close.
