Vise mount for the welding table
Welding table in use. Still a few things to add but it's in use.

Is that art by Alejandro Burdisio? Love his stuff. Alvaro Naddeo has been an inspiration, too.
Nope, that was by googlesomethingstupidforaquicklaugh@camfounditfirst

I've followed a few cool tags on Instagram for inspiration (although the platform has been completely destroyed by Reels): #dieselpunk #artdeco #machineage #streamline etc
I’ve got two 12ga steel cabinets with viewing panes that are just prime for a steampunk transformation. One of these days I’ll geek out on them.
Here’s a better picture

What brand/model is this cabunet?

The windowed model looks awesome when it's empty, but probably decidedly less awesome once I hoard it full of dirty used ball valves and a tangled rats nest of split loom tubing. It's just a showcase of sadness then.
You’re gonna want some locking castors on that end of the table. I have a vice on mine and if you grind or are torquing on something in that vice that table is going to go a wondering.Vise mount for the welding table

Do those ones have a swivel lock?
I found these urethane casters on eBay a while ago. The pedal not only locks the wheel brake, but it engages a cogged ring with a locking plate, preventing rotation so the table can't squirm around much at all. I tried to take some photos but they ****:

I'll bet a 6-pack those fasteners have a torque record too.Why is a bench safety wired?

It's completely pointless because they have nuts on the back side. Just a functional art project I haven't shared here yet.

Didn't want to be the first to call you out on that. Should have made a threaded plate.It's completely pointless because they have nuts on the back side. Just a functional art project I haven't shared here yet.

Should've used AN bolts. I didn't know enough about aviation at the time.
I have leveling legs to lower and raise the table up off the casters.You’re gonna want some locking castors on that end of the table. I have a vice on mine and if you grind or are torquing on something in that vice that table is going to go a wondering.

No, just the level of detail and execution we have gotten used to seeing from you, Eric.
Thanks. I appreciate that.No, just the level of detail and execution we have gotten used to seeing from you, Eric.
But but but the lifters in the Mustang are hydraulic roller. Does that count ?
Seriously though, I wanted something basic and I could do quick and easy. Not to mention, I wanted to get this thing done. There's always the future project where I could change it.

I've got a 302 in need of hydraulic roller lifters...

I bought this old Kewanee elevator so we could use a Bobcat to load our spent agricultural waste* into semi trailers. I think it's about 75 years old, and it was filled with brittle cast iron drive sprockets, which were attached to rusty shafts with roll pins. I ended up making a couple new shafts that would accept standard keyed sprockets, and replaced the sprockets with steel. That one extremely shark-toothed sprocket on the PTO input had an even number of teeth, so I replaced it with an odd number in order to allow the 2050 double-link chain to engage every tooth, hopefully doubling the lifespan of the part.
*The business is a mushroom farm, and the agricultural waste in question is comprised of ground up straw and other cellulose material, inoculated with spawn. It approximates the composition of a tree trunk, and supports the growth of oyster mushrooms. Gardeners take it away and use it as mulch when we're done harvesting our crop.
I've gotta build a welding positioner one of these years.

Very clever on introducing one odd tooth sprocket to force the chain to mate different each time with other sprockets! I’ve never heard this before but is brilliant!

To clarify: the 2050 chain skips a tooth on the 50-pitch sprocket, so the odd tooth count only ensures that that particular sprocket receives wear between every tooth, rather than having a 12 tooth sprocket with the same six wear points on every revolution.
You can see in the photo of the old, worn even-tooth-count sprocket, it never received any chain wear on half of its teeth.

I can't remember, it was a few months ago. I probably did.

Having a difficult time visualizing the chain alternating teeth?
colindoyle

The 2050 chain lands on every second tooth. After one revolution, it starts to engage the teeth it skipped the first time. Repeat ad infinitum.

It doesn't affect the other sprockets, only the odd toothed one. But yes, pretty neat.

Talking about gear reduction ratios often has that effect.
