toelesswelder, thank you for the response. I need to wrap my head around what you wrote and try to put it into practice.

A pair of end tables for my daughter (Christmas presents) using reclaimed pallet wood that I wire brushed and sealed with Danish oil.

i can take some pictures. but i divide the tubing in half, draw a sharpie line along each side of the tubing. and i just clamp a piece of angle iron on the band saw so each pie cut is the same length. i just keep turning the tube 180 degrees and line up the sharpie mark on the angle iron with the tubing mark

Some pictures might help to visualize this technique. If you happen to think of it (pictures) next time you're doing pie cuts on tubing, I'd be interested in learning more about this technique, too.

I drew my brother in law in the family gift exchange, gift has to be $20max or home made, he collects all types of weapons, switch blades, brass knuckles, and other such paraphernalia, so I made him a toy revolver,

How do you like the vega view? I've been thinking about getting a nicer lid.

i clamp a piec of angle to the saw and leave it there. put a sharpie mark the same height as the center point of the tubing.set my angle, 5 or 10 degrees and just keep flipping the tubing180 degrees

Now it makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to take and post the pictures. I may have a need for this technique on my 1967 Mustang Fastback that I'm building with a Ford Coyote engine. I will need something to duct from the air filter to the inlet on the intake manifold.

Working on my fixture/welding table. Almost done!

Not an easy build, but very rewarding....

 

[Dr. Pepper]

I built (overbuilt lol) this wagon for my cousins boy. He supplied the cash and parts, I did the all the fab and powder coated it all. I made all the hubs and steering linkage to make the quad steer work. It has rod ends on all the links, roller bearings on the hubs, and bronze bearings I machined to fit in pieces of tube on all the pivot points. I filled all the holes in the tub and made the rail sides that are welded on then fit aluminum panels with dimple holes in. Pretty bad machine, but boy is it heavy.

 

[1969]

Amazing......... probably worth more than my pickup.

 

[jgreen-fsi]

That's awesome! Nice job!

 

[Mike.ASC]

Very nice & well done. I predict someone will be ecstatic to see that.

 

[Bighead38]

You could probably sell a couple of those wagons for a pretty good amount.

 

[f150skidoo]

That's the coolest wagon ever.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Thanks guys! It was a tremendous amount of work. I had tossed around the idea of making a few to sell, but they'd have to go for $3,000+ to make it worth the while. I'm sure I could make a stripped down version, but it's not in my nature to do that lol.

The next one I build will be a dropped version, as thats more my style. Full chassis, air ride, with a pedal car body. Once I have kids of course..

 

[E12-535iTurbo]

Damn! That's taking overdoing to a whole new level! It looks brilliant.

I think you may have way too much time and money on your hands! Just kidding....That thing's freakin awesome!

 

[pepi]

Dr. Pepper, nice work I like stuff like that.

Well done!

 

[jnkpile]

Dr. Pepper, I'm very jealous that you found someone to pay you to build something as fun (and awesome) as this! In the build pictures the rear axle has no steer, was it a necessary afterthought?

 

[C91x]

Dr. pepper ....is there a drag link for the rear steer? It looks like the rear axle is solid with no spindle?

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Thanks for the good words, guys. The rear steer was something we had to add. With only the front steer the turning radius was something like 10'. Adding the rear steer cut it in half. I had to make the two extra spindles and it does have a drag link to connect the front to the rear. There was some trial and error to get the ratios right. Here's a pic of it flipped over. You can see how it all works.

 

[Bob Heine]

Looks like a perfectly reasonable set of mods to a wagon (at least on GJ).

are you gonna use filler? why not straight cut and fuse it.

I weld SS sanitary pipe and our procedure always calls no gap, no bevel, no filler on thin wall **** joints with Argon back purge.

That looks amazing. Great job.

I built one for my son when he was a baby back in 1991 when we were drag racing/showing our 1940 coupe. I went the other direction though and slammed a radio flyer using go-kart slicks and the body hinged at the rear like a funny car and tipped up. The interior was grey tweed to match our car and it had wheelie bars out the back mounted to a square tube sub-frame and spindles using heim joints for steering joints. Cool as hell at the time, sold it about 15 years ago, wished I would have taken more pictures of it.

Mike.

 

[mustangmike6996]

Best wagon ever!

 

[poggi]

Nice work. Is the sand rail your design? If not, can you share the name? TIA

Finally remembered to take a pic at moms. I made this post before the clothes line poles. This is a duplicate of the original cedar post with the finial on top. I pre wired the post with a box up top for the light and a box at the bottom for the gfci. I got side tracked and ran out daylight to take pictures of the sign post.

Just finished looking though all 206 pages. So many great ideas. I'll be posting here when I get a chance to make something worth posting.
Thanks to everyone for sharing

Meh not my best work but an upgrade to my HF Bandsaw... Bent from 1 1/4" DOM Tube...
Wheels were from the spares bin, from an old welder cart... Very Stable and high enough to use my roller stands for material support... Shown here with the saw C Clamped to the platform... Leftover Levelling feet from another project...
