Goat Stand

[Jim Sullivan]

Just finishing up another project that's keeping me away from the '62. A goat hoof trimming stand for Deb's birthday present. Need to smooth all edges and paint it. I don't know where the heck all of these projects are coming from, but I'll be glad when there all done.

Makes a great gift! Now sit back and wait for the orders to roll in! (just funnin' ya)

Welding that kind of metal is nice. Try some 22ga sheetmetal for fun! (NOT) That's what I was doing earlier for a lathe enclosure I'm making. Should have used rivets!

When you going to do that 63????

Thin metal is tricky to weld. Try tig welding .050" aluminum, gotta move fast. Well, did you post pictures of you enclosure yet?

Don't have a tig welder (yet) My enclosure is a little camera shy yet, after she gets a coat of paint!

Oh yeah, I forgot I had a 63! She's on the top bunk of the 4 post lift sleeping.

Oh so you don't care about my 63?

Oh sure , but I knew Jim had started his but wondered if he was working on it anymore .

Goat farmers sex toy?

I haven't touched my '63 in several years. Last I worked on it, I had most of the metal work done. I think I got burned out a little then started on a few air cleaners. I haven't worked on one of my cars since. Then along came the '62, which I was hoping would be a quicker build than the '63. But way too many small projects have been popping up, one after the other. Now I'm really looking forward to working on a car.

Well, could be for someone I guess. Sure as heck not me, I'm no goat farmer.

I was just about to ask if you had a chance to try it out yet????

 

[bobs409]

Would probably be a big seller in the muslim communities.

I'll just piggy back this onto your thread Jim since you asked. You may now see the new "enclosure". (that's what I'm calling it because I can't think of anything better)

Look at it now because this is the cleanest it will ever be.

Had to make it in 2 pieces as my sheet metal brake is only 36 inch and this is 48. It will serve the purpose.



At least all those nasty metal shavings won't be falling behind the work bench now!

 

[bobs409]

I also whipped up this metal container to hold the metal shavings and metal scraps. It will fit between my tool box and work bench. Might put a handle on it and paint the outside. Chose to use rivets instead of attempting welding this 22ga again.

Lookin good Bob. Too neat and clean though.

I'll fix that! (actually, I already started)
