That’s pretty neat @southerndudeva
@lance_gilbert6 Thanks, it was actually fun fabricating and seeing the outcome
Nice fab work got skills??⚒
@dffish Thanks Dude, idk about skills thou with a 7th grade education , maybe just a little RedNeck ingenuity lol
@dffish all I had to buy was the two wheelbarrow tires from Harbor Freight the scrap I got from my brothers pile of junk it was an old metal shelf out of a warehouse made out of square tubing and a couple discarded discs I found on side of a farmers field lol
@southerndudeva Nice you did one hell of a job
@dffish Thank you ,That means a lot to me
@southerndudeva my father owned a machine shop for 35 years I know a little bit about Metal work
@dffish nice…I like welding but I just dabble in it when get a chance..old arc welder a guy gave me that he was tossing out and also growing up I worked on a local tomato farm and actually drove the case tractor that laid 3 beds of plastic at a time with six ppl riding on it It was massive ,So from memory of how it worked holding down the plastic with rubber tires which also unrolled it at same time and then the disc would throw dirt over the edges to secure it and so I figured why not do it on a smaller scale so was all from memory of how it actually worked..needless to say my friend was tickled to death when he seen it working..he was elder and had been trying lay it by hand rolling it out and shoveling dirt over the edges
@southerndudeva you saved your buddy a lot of backbreaking work! Never did much stickwelding all my welding was tig welding with metals. Hastaloy x or inkonel
@dffish lol Yea it’d take him half a day to do a row and they always looked like shit lmao and he could only do like 12 foot sections at a time cause wind catch under it and after I built this for him he was laying 20 rows in half a day and planted everything he could come up with , Sadly he passed and if wasn’t for him I wouldnt of had the pictures cause once I get working on something I don’t even think of documenting it thru pics I’m head on into it and won’t stop till it’s done lol…Ive seen tig welders and would love to get one some day but Ive got a whole list of things I’d love to get u know how that goes lol
