Changed things up with the laminator a little. Still a lot of tweaking to do to get it set up right. All I need is MORE TIME. :shock:

Back on the trailer after a short day of progress. I planned to work on the scaffold all day yesteday, but I had to do sign stuff until about 2pm so about all I got done was cut the temporary ladder brackets off the ends & weld in receivers. I have a receiver bracket built to lock the Babcat forks in any location now. I still have to make up some receiver brackets to lock the ladders on the platform. I'd like to make them adjustable to make it easier to level the deck on uneven ground. I hope to get this deal done before the next sign install comes along.

Then just maybe, just maybe, I'll get some time on the "Z". Had to push it outside yesterday for some fresh air & to borrow the shop space.

Spent the long weekend getting as much done on the scaffolding as possible. I have a couple things to do yet but I'm a little closer to calling it a done deal. the track loader isn't big enough to set the deck on the trailer & still pull the forks out of the receivers. That & there's no way to easily pick it from the end. So I decided a tilting storage rack would solve both problems.

Image

Image

Flipped the deck upside down & built the flip part of the rack on top.

Image

Once I had it far enough along to bolt down to the trailer I worked on the storage for the railing parts

Image

Got it this far along & then took it back off to do a little more work on the railing storage and the final welding & paint.

Here's just the storage rack

Image

And here's the rack loaded with railing parts & the deck in the pick position. I used Some Roll on bed liner on the top for a non-skid surface.

Image

And the deck in the storage position. I sprayed rattle can undercoating on the bottom side of the plywood just because I had a few cans on the shelf.

Image


Still a lot to do but it's getting closer.
