Thanks, I guess it just depends on your situation, did you get the swivel wheels? 2 of mine are swivel and 2 are not, but seem to be working fine for me so far.

Looks like you are already making some big progress! I am planning on building something very similair next. (After I graduate from college, have a job and buy a plasma cutter and welder) So maybe in the next 5 or so years.

Yeah i see where that could be a pain, mines more of an angle than a drop off so i should be ok.

Thanks, They'll be plenty of pics on this build, I'll have the legs finished in a little bit, 3 of 4 done, and hope to have the pipe welded to the base and back on the floor this evening.

Good luck with that, I had big plans after college 15 years ago 
Now I have a wife, house, and 2 kids that put a damper on the plans.
All good though

Hillbilly Smoker, great looking build so far!
Post pictures of the counterweight when you get that far so we can open some old wounds. (And teach a math lesson)

Thanks Tom, basically building what you have but just adding to it.

Thanks Jimmie, I'm gonna use some Redneck math when i do my counterweight.  Just kidding, I'll go into detail on it when i get to that point.

Well....., looks like I'm down till next weekend, i left my Argon bottle on last night and got a leak somewhere and lost it all, 1200psi.  , Oh well, needed to fill my Oxygen bottle anyway. There are things i could do to the build but i hate being limited.

Spool up some .035 flux core and go at it, you can exercise your arm chipping slag

Umm.............., No. lol.
I don't have flux wire and i don't plan on buying any. guess I'm spoiled on gas welding, I'm in no hurry i have about 2 1/2 months till deer season so it'll be done in plenty of time.
