I've heard as much from other comments. There's still some tweaking to do as far as the pivot point ( I may need to extend to the front of the counterweight/handles) for easier lift, but it sure works well for what is a "simple" solution.

Not a change, just an option. Both heat sources have their benefits. I'll probably put a video together discussing it.

I thought about your lack of power issue with regards to a shop fan. What about a low cost solar panel setup? The panels are around $150-200 for about 100w version. Add the battery and some wiring... You could have your fan, led light, and maybe even enough juice to charge your ryobi batteries?

As always amazing craftsmanship Brett, just wondering if it would’ve made it easier to move if the tank was closer to the axle?

@skullandspade

3 жыл бұрын

It would for sure. The aim here was not only building with what I had on hand, but overall, keeping the cart as "short" as possible. In an ideal world, I think the axle would be directly under the tank, but that would have raised the whole thing up quite a bit. As it stands now, what I lose in mobility, I gain in "once its in place, it doesn't want to roll/move"
