Post by: azkitch on June 01, 2010, 12:03:30 am: How ya gonna weld them chunks o' wood?
Sorry. Just hadda go there. Diamond plate or expanded metal floors?
That's gonna be a nice set up. I'd be happy making a UDS cart. Which is silly, since they're for sale all over the place...
Title: Re: "New Toy" so........ "New Project"
Post by: Quiggs on June 01, 2010, 09:29:40 am: No floor, tabs going to be welded under legs to lower WSM for better center of gravity. Also if wind blocking sides are on opening at bottom will allow air flow....
Title: Re: "New Toy" so........ "New Project"
Post by: KidCurry on June 01, 2010, 10:40:33 am: Nice leveling jack. Looks handy!
Title: Re: "New Toy" so........ "New Project"
Post by: AZWildcat on June 02, 2010, 05:14:00 pm: That looks awsome. I've always wanted to learn to weld. Did metal shop back in high school, would like to take another shot at it. Nice job there!

Ditto

Red dots on concrete are my very own blood!! Hint.....Don't grab flying new aluminum diamond plate in mid air!!

Center table insert

(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e318/quiggsfile/SANY1399.jpg)

Possible side table option....or making lid holder off the side...few more beers should make decission!!....

BY THE WAY...ALL THOSE SPECKS ON WSM's LID ARE HAIL DAMAGE FROM MESQUITE LAST YEAR!!! IT TOOK US A WHILE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED!! SMALL CHIPS IN PORCELIN..... NICE STORM TO SURVIVE!!

Table again...

Post by: Quiggs on June 12, 2010, 10:26:34 am: Latest additions.

Bent up a lid holder.. worked better than I hoped as it is wide enough that you can swing lid onto it with one hand insted of grabbing both handles.

Next is removable side table frame. It slips into side rail tubes.

(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e318/quiggsfile/SANY1429.jpg)

Getting close to finish..

Post by: AZWildcat on October 13, 2010, 04:57:39 pm: I know this is a little old, but I gotta tell ya Dave, that is slick! I've been trying to figure out a better way to hold and transport 2 UDS's, while cooking. I'm not so worried but the WSM's, but that is very nice. All I need is a welder, some square tubing, and someone who knows what they are doing w/ a fire wrench. I'm close!
Title: Re: "New Toy" so........ "New Project"
Post by: Harpo on October 14, 2010, 07:34:40 am: There is only one slight problem I see with the project and it is a quick fix. I don't see any smoke coming from them or any meat on them. >:D Very nice work, looks really good and I'm sure your gonna love that setup.
