It's good enough for my purposes but hopefully you experienced fellas can tell me some tricks to do it right the next time.This shows how to draw an EQUILATERAL triangle inside a circle: I really tried to get the holes nice and straight/aligned but I failed miserably. I picked up that little contraption I welded to side of the vertical piece so I can raise and lower inner piece. I also really need a book on how to drill straight holes for dummies. I know each leg should be 120 degrees and all but what's the best way to line everything up on a round pole like this? The leg bracing pieces are also not quite perfect but it works, so far. They're no where near perfect but I guess you have to look real hard to see the angles are not quite right lol. Making the legs was a huge pain in the ***. Made it of an old swing I picked up for free a while back. How the hell do you all get perfect angles for something like a three legged vertical contraption? I just made this bike repair stand: ![]() I'll also try my hand at making another bike repair stand after the MIG course to have a before and after gauge of skills/knowledge learned. I don't trust myself with messing around on the frame of a vehicle I'll be driving lol. Going to wait on doing it all until after I complete a MIG welding course at my local CC. So you're mainly doing beach/water related projects? I need to weld on a bunch of new sheet metal to my rusted truck and repair a small area of the frame. I do all the repairs/maintenance on our vehicles, a car lift would be a definite help. All that tinkering around when I could have just screwed in some damn 2x4s I seriously need to practice thinking smarter not harder. The engine stand i use has to hold all that extra weight, so i just do this.Crap, I don't get message notifications and haven't been on this site in a while. Installed a 4 stroke engine in a walmart beach cruiser bike. Too many projects here, waiting to order a car lift, i removed and poured the concrete floor this summer.īought a cheap trashed 1996 touring E skidoo and tore the engine down, its only a 2 cyl simple 2 stroke, runs great now.ġ4 alum boat with 1959 10 hp, rebuilt engine, runs nicely. What kind of projects are you working on in your retirement years? The garage is already filled with my tools, welding table, an engine sitting on the floor, etc. I hit the spots with a punch but the bits still wandered, would love a drill press but my wife would freak out. ![]() You did a good job, the vertical is bending because its made from tube, maybe the wall thickness is too thin.**** I feel like a dumbass, should have thought about using a clockface to determine angles. Hit the spots with a center punch to prevent the drill from wandering. ![]() Line the holes up by drawing a line with a straight edge. Straight holes are why people use drill presses. I was a pastry chef in my working life before retiring, the job requires you to be able to divide a 16 inch cake into 12 or 16 sections by eye, on the fly,ĭraw a clock on a cardboard round, for your situation i would mark 3 lines from 12 o'clock, 4 o'clock and 8 p'clock to the center. ![]() I think your question is how do I make a jig. ![]()
