    I can't believe I just read a post on how to build a door. FROM SCRATCH. And people tell me I spend too much time reading. This is why I come back. LOL. Great tech. There are some seriously talented people here.

    Thanks for the compliments guys.

    I have about 30 hours or so in it, but the next one will usually go faster.
    Also less than $100 material. I bought a 4x10 sheet of 18 gauge for $65, you will have a 3x4 left over and the rest is sanding disc,grinder rock,welding gas,wire, etc.

    Thanks for the compliments guys.I hope you can use something from this thread. If i slide the top wheel out closer to the end of the shaft i can go close to 80-90 in two passes, but i'm on the edge of the rubber wheel.

    How did you go about making the wood hammer form? Water type of wood? Was a router used? what size? Thanks

    Just about any wood will work for one door. I used pine and oak on mine.I rough cut mine with a sawzall and sanded it with a 4 1/2" and 9" grinder with a sanding disc on them.It does not have to be smooth or perfect, just get as close as you can to the general shape.I think a router would work good (i don't have one to try).

    wingedexpress, that is just nuts - you cannot do that!
    You must have used CGI to fool us all into believing what our minds know is just an elaborate trick!
    It must be, 'cause I seen it but I still don't believe it!
    I tips me hat to ya, I do. (Mostly because I just feel so inadequate now - ho hum).
    NEXT!!!!!!
     
  23. Awesome tech! Thanks for taking the time.
     
  24. WOW nice job, both on the door and the tech! Not only did you make your door, but after reading your tech thread, I wouldn't hesitate to try making one myself. Thanks!

    You the man and you have my vote! I wish I'd have just built a pair of new ones before I redid my trashed beaters. They did turn out OK though.
