My latest distraction

Postby Larwyn » Sat Nov 15, 2008 11:52 am

Over the last couple of days I welded up a new door to replace a plexiglass panel covering an access opeing to the crawl space under the house. Believe me, I now have more respect for a spider's building skills.... :lol: :lol:

Gosh, Larwyn! You're really showing off your skills! That's impressive! It's things like your spider web door that make homes and trailers special and become a legacy and tribute to those who create them. Don't stop being creative. It's wonderful. :thumbsup:

I admire your work and skill. One question... Do you need to keep out tiny critters like mice and voles? Perhaps the addition of hardware cloth?

Thanks everyone for the comments on the web door.

Paul,

Yep, everything but the star on these panels were cut on the Triton Steel Cutting Saw. The 24 foot long joints of square tubing were all supported on the in-feed side of the saw on two Triton Multi Stands. The SuperJaws work vise saw considerable use on this project. My Triton tools continue to serve well. There were 10 of these panels in all and I still have to get some paint on them before I am finished. Since this pic was taken they have been properly mounted, in the pic they are just propped up at whatever angle would cause them to remain more or less upright.... :lol:
