The Frame is Spinning..!

Postby Larwyn » Thu Aug 12, 2004 9:22 pm

Needing to flip my 4X8 HF frame over to paint the other side, this being the 3rd time I've had to turn it over and not the last, I decided there had to be a better way.

I used some long carrage bolts in the existing holes in the end crossmembers to attach some 1/4 X 3 inch flat iron with enough space between the flat and the frame to spray paint on the ends. Centered some 1/2 all thread in the flat, I then placed my pipe stands under the 1/2 inch rods and removed all other support. I can now rotate the frame a full 360 degrees and stop it at any point necessary. Wish I had done that from the begining, makes it a lot easier to get paint in the tight areas of the frame.

The frame is painted now. I'll get the new coupeler tomorrow after work, weld it on Saturday morning. Then I can finish up the painting and get started on the floor which I plan to finish this weekend.
