Added a groove to my pivot pin to keep the table top from working its way out when being rotated when its set at 90 degrees.

got the plate frame all welded up

Nice garage and house. I've got a couple MkIIs myself.

very little progress lately. Between working 60 to 80 hours a week and the terrible weather we have been having there hasnt been much time to work.. We did manage to get the forum built and get the huge stump ground and gone. He are supposed to get the concrete poured this week but everyone is 2...

skimmed my arms or whatever you want to call them to make sure they are flat made the center pivot piece and machined the arms to fit.. Keep in mind i did the machining at work and the plate is at home. Apparently i got all my math right because the i couldnt have asked for a better fit with...

I'm posting from my phone so that probably has something to do with the sideways pictures. I wish I knew how to correct it but I don't.

Here is the start of the center pivot. I have decided against using bearings.

That's odd. All the pictures are showing up correctly for me.

Once it was in place it was no trouble keeping it there. Lifting the 140 lb plate vertically 18 inches was a task though, especially since I was alone and only weigh 140 lbs myself.

I'm building a rotating and tilting fixture table in another thread if you want to see my design.

I really wish I had a magnetic drill press for times like this

Thanks for that link. I really like the design of that setup.

Started the design of the tilt hinge.

Thanks guys, I hope this thing turns out as well as I have it planned in my dead.

Got the bosses welded up. I tried to keep all the welds flush so I wouldn't have to grind much off. Turned out decent, and I've decided to change the frame design a little. Not only will the top spin it will now also tilt. This should pay off in the long run when I have to weld some hard to...

I haven't designed the foot yet. The 4 legged thing is what the table top plate bolts to. The foot will probably be a 2 or 3 foot round base with 3 bolts for feet. Locking castors would be nice but they would be pretty tall and get in the way of my foot pedal when welding. Thanks for the...

And I doubt you need to make them that wide. Duallys will still go up and down it fine with only one tire on each ramp.
