Knew such at time of purchase but knew it would hold out till I could make a better one. Weeeellllllllll, my boy got hold to a 20ft stick of 4” x 4” 1/4” wall tubing. Welded with 7018. Scavenged baseplates from a scale install served as the covers for the ends and the feet, and also the bracketry up to. Used 1/2” pins and washers scavenged from another scale job. Then painted with whatever spray paint I could get to spray from my stash (it was pretty cool yesterday). All in, we have maybe $10 between the welding rod, flux core wire used to tack it, and the R-pins used to secure the 1/2” pins. This A-Frame may well outlive my grandkids.<br/><br/>Stay tuned for possible gantry crane upgrades lol<br/><br/>#Welding #Fabrication #SkilledTrades #DIY #Handyman #HotRodLincoln #Tools <img src="https://image.nostr.build/3a1736029fd7a44bd10e633e422eb31c5768048b3859e935d276832cb82fef05.jpg"> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/02e018022c0668e79314a2068bd8323cde15f2b0321aa546da0149203aab9ebc.jpg"> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/a57fdd6938aaa115c8905e40a6fec8ef8aa20ce6b26da93753d50d7fbdb652fc.jpg"> <video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://video.nostr.build/47de273251b168da441f0077ac3fd3ce53e0585132fee89f6209038fef704f22.mp4"></video> 2025-03-04T01:15:39Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0e0wh5z2536k9pcdq4s9743nfeg7gny6z76u5xs8tgfspqntys6gzyqhngmu4x9x3utnrf7c737t37ef26eyvv6ywyl74jdzc7smklv0ukncfsnz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqfvu68js9hc0qzf09p44f00nx6j7emcgqwhhyrzg0ew35kyefhhclqnp5c'>nevent1q…np5c</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I had quite a few, had to sell ‘em when I had youngins due to lack of time and space.
