Rich, Looks like you already have a stable of fine toys.

Awesome little r/pu Tom..Would like to do one of those myself.. Got a 29 roadster to play with instead..Gotta finish my wifes Customline first..

Then I designed some graphics & laminated them to some .040 aluminum.



Cut them to size



Using the graphic as a guide, I bead rolled a raised panel to make the graphic a little more 3d & stiffen the panels.



Formed the panels in the brake & screwed them to the frames.



All installed. That's it so far.



I printed the graphics on reflective material so it can be seen better at night.

Looks great Pro! Can't get over how nice the graphics come out and how much they add to something like scaffolding even!!!! Oh yeah, looks like some super strong corner posts!

Pro I was talking with my wife while viewing your update, and thought wow he made a pool table, until I was able to focus on what you typed! But now that I think about it you could make a pool table too!

Thanks Dave. I hope to get this deal all done by the end of the year so I can move on.

Stovens, maybe I'll get some green felt for Christmas.

Coal City has the cheapest fuel around northern Illinois

Yer right Jerry. We are even 9-10¢ cheaper than Morris usually.

Still no "Z" progress, but......
Got the adjustable ladder brackets built this weekend between Christmas celebrations.

Cut out.


Welded


Now the ladders are adjustable for uneven terrain, they lock on so I can move the whole set up without removing & reinstalling the ladders every move.




Still have a list of things to get done, but I have a real estate sign to remove today, so the list will have to wait. Everything fits on the trailer & is easy to take off/replace. The trailer is gettin' full.

I think Fuel City must be fallin' on hard times. A few of them around here have shuttered the doors.

Great job, Pro! I think you could definitely find a market for those if you wanted to put a few of them out there for sale.

Very cool Pro and I love that Bobcat! I need some sort of adjusting Ladder for the drive way. It has a gentle slope along side the house(still not paved after the addition 5 years ago,) so to try and clean the leaves out of the gutters is a two person job, because they are 20 feet in the air, and the 22 foot extension ladder leans way to much at that height for my comfort! I like a frame ladders for stability, but you just can't seem to find one taller than 12 ft!

Thanks falconvan & Stovens. I don't think I'd want the liability of building these for somebody else. If somebody wants to copy the idea though, hey, go for it. It's not a new idea, I just tweaked it a little to fit what I do.

Man, ain't that the truth!!! You'd build one for a guy, cut him a deal on the materials and labor then he'd stand on the top rail, fall off and sue you!!!!!Sez a lot about the world we live in these days, huh???

Thats like a screwmachine for plasma cutting
