Thank you, I like the challenge.

Thanks !

Hi, Thank you. The thickest I have done is .0625 cold rolled but it worked well.

Hi, here is my completed sheet metal brake I made essentially from trailer hitch tubes and "I" beams. The entire unit bolts to my fab table. Uses a compact bottle jack to drive the lower jaw which applies load. The swing arm is adjustable for different thicknesses of metal.

I have a used motor missing the name plate. There are 2 lugs and an orange wire loose. Any ideas how to wire this ? I am putting it on my wood lathe. Thanks

Just put the finishing touches on this shop stereo. Works great. Special thanks to members of this forum for their help !

Excellent question. When I started to drill the holes, that's where they ended up but there's actually a raceway for the wires on the other side of the fenders to keep the electrical dry. Im kinda stuck with them there now...

Thank you, I try : )

Hi, thank you, Its actually very light. Its total weight is around 900lbs I would estimate. I tried to keep it as light as possible, I'm just towing it with my car.

Thank you so much, got busy on another build I submitted recently ( stereo build ). Hi, lumbers pretty cheap here, Diamond sheet in aluminum might be nice, now that you mention it. Not sure on the cost though..... I hope this trailer holds up as well, Its actually light enough to move by hand...

Just put the finishing touches on this trailer. Added some gussets on the sides at the back to add some additional support.

if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys...

Frame back from painters. I am pleased.

Ok, sounds excellent, I just picked up the frame from powder coaters and I am going to tackle the wiring as per your instructions. I am planning on checking the amperage under load once I get it wired up. If its ok with you I may message you directly, Thanks for all your help on this. It...

What would you recommend for a battery to maintain presets ?

I had to do some heavy welds with a light duty miller ( 110 ), I pre-heated the metal with a torch 1st and was able to get a good bite on it afterwards. Practise your vertical downs where you start with the puddle at the top and work it down, I try to feather the 2 surfaces together, in an...

Agreed, I stopped at my local car parts supplier and picked up a toggle for the smaller amp, still a novice at this point. Wisconsin rocks btw, all my relatives are in Cudahy and Madison.

Yup, as I was collecting information for you it became obvious the power supply was insufficient. I visited a local computer supply store and purchase a 500W gaming power supply with 25 and 20 amp rails. I am still trying to figure out which rails produce the highest amperage. I was hoping I...

Hi, I have the information you requested, Please review data and give me your thoughts. The 2 amps have a 25 amp and 20 amp fuse , but no data on the unit. The larger takes the 25 amp. I have attached a photo of the power supply to discern if it will do the job. Originally the smaller amp ran...

Awesome, thanks so much, I am no audio file. I will collect the data and hopefully you can help me out here, I already sent the frame for paint. Talk soon.
