I was tired of rethreading the little spools for the machine with my 15 lb spool so I decided to make a new cart for storing my baby in my room and adapt the big spool to the frame.
It has to be small so I can maneuver inside the house till my room, so here it is...
The feeder seems to work fine...as you can see its a 3/4 nut welded to the base and the bolt has a 7/8 tube welded to it, I wondered if metal to metal would cause enough friction to stop the spool from unrolling, so I had some 10 ga. electric wire and give some turns to the tube for increased friction, seems to work out fine.
No critics on the welds, I made this so fast I couldnīt weld correctly, my dad is waiting for his grill and some parts are just tacked...
ohh, hopefully the welder wonīt move much so I can take it outside to weld inside my Baja (if I ever get to own a bug), well gotta plan for the future!
enjoy!
