To answer the question on the retractable casters, here is what I did. Also here is how I attached the top. I weldedthe nuts into the rails and ground smooth.

Sanddan- Going to do both, build and rebuild.
Hunter1151- Yep it is an '80 Margay Xpert. I had one back in the day and have taken up vintage karting. Of course, the old frames are breaking and bending easily from fatigue so I am going to repop them.

I had a Panther X which came before the Xpert.........I think it was a 1976 model. Had a Mac 91 on it with a Horstman clutch.........

Welded up a skid plate out of 3/16 6061 that I cut out on my plasma table today. I used 3/32 5356 filler rod, 170A, 150 Hz, 70% balance, 3/32 ceriated tungsten.

I am tig welding this whole thing together.......tig welding hot rolled isn't the best because to keep the look that I want I need to leave the scale on. I still have to fab another section with a gate, then sections that will go down to a landing, and then to the ground level. I will try to keep some pics coming as I fab and install this beast.
No I did not bend all of the scroll parts Kings Architectural makes them too cheap to mess with that part of the build. They are all really close to the same dimension which makes it nice.
My fabrication table is made from an old milling table I purchased from a used equipment dealer who had scraped it. It weighs about 10,000 lbs. I put the legs under it which are 8x8x1/2". The t-slots are a huge plus for fab work, and straightening things.
My shop is still in the putting it all together stage, and my family once owned an amusement park, so there are remnants of it in there.

I know, starting in the 1800s but hearing the guys reminiscing and telling stories of some of the later ones it got pretty dusty in the room. talking about the night that it happened and what the circumstances were. Very protective of their brethren, it has Blue LEDs behind the display plate.

A little more than welding involved in this, including several firsts for me. First time bending sheet metal, first time using Riv-nuts and first time building a frame around a form (the jog in the uprights to allow the toolbox lid to open). There are details on the build in my workshop thread. Link is in my sig below.

The misses and I are in the middle of building a house. Had a lot of trouble finding post lights we liked that would match the house and were reasonably priced. So, did what I do best.. Take something simple and make it difficult.
Started as an idea.
Marked and cutout.
Test light.
Cleaned up, ready for powder coat.
Testing the glass.
Coated and glass installed. Sandblasted the back of the glass for a frosted look.
Quick test light. Happy you can't see the bulb and that the light is even.
Everything is welded from the inside. Post is 4", trim ring is 5", base and cap are 6".
They will get installed on a 4x4 post that is built out to 8"x8"x24" and will get stone wrapped. The bulbs are 24" LED direct wire bulbs with flush mount holders. The glass is removable and the top cap lifts off to put the glass in or change the bulb. In the process of building a similar thing for the mailbox also.
