Early morning here too, unfortunately mine is to go into work and try to help get us caught up some..... I'd much rather be firing up the smoker or helping a friend with theirs! Hope all goes well for ya today

[Brewery]

This hobby is going to put me in the poor house! Thankfully I have a great Mrs. Brewery who understands lol

Starting to trim doors with 1 1/2" x 1/4" strap this eve. I have a to suprise a friends daughter with a trampoline tomorrow (meaning I have to go buy and get it put together while they get to play at the park!) so no smoker time but it'll be worth it seeing the look on her face when they get home ;)

Pics of doors to come if I can finish today

Where I stand now...

[Brewery]

Just seen my "status" i guess you call it and it says "needs more steel" lol
Hit the nail on the head with that one!!

[Smokeone]

Never nuf steel!

If it werent so darn expensive!

[Frank_Cox]

brew!

[Brewery]

Haven't accomplished much lately but trying to get doors to fit this eve. I don't remember who posted this idea on how to fix sprung doors but whoever it was thanks for sharing, it's working well!

[Smokeone]

It wasnt me, but that is a great way to do it!

[The Czar]

Well it dang sure wasn't Smokeone......

[Tom_Heath]

Well, I heard that small charges of dine-O-mite works also.

Wanna light the fuse DC?????
I'll run the camera, ya know, just so we can say it really happened.

WOW I was expecting to hear......Hey hold my beer and watch this.!!!!

[Smokeone]

You might be closer to the facts Tom!

[gusibole]

Hell, I used a 48" pipe wrench and hung off of mine like an ape! A little neanderthal, but it worked!

[Brewery]

Well I'm going to have to change my approach, after getting doors to fit ( which was all my floor jack wanted plus some) the sprung back a little after a few days, I was afraid it might happen and am glad I waited to weld hinges on. Think I might have to use a little heat and "over" bend them... Don't know what else to try. That 3/8" pipe doesn't want to go back to where I need it

[gusibole]

Dude 3/8 is some stout steel! You may have to put some heat to it! I hope it works out for ya! Keep us updated!

[Brewery]

Will do, any ideas are more than welcome!

[Frank_Cox]

I think some heat and a floor jack is your best bet... keep the heat away from the hydro cylinder!

[Gizmo]

Here - hold this nail while I hit it...!?!?

PLEASE be careful...

[Brewery]

I'm thinking i need a rose bud but I've had a few people say they are bad news unless you have a really big acetelyne (sp?) bottle, anyone know if thats true? I don't know the actual size, havent had to fill it. Does it say on bottle?

[TuscaloosaQ]

have you ever considered scribing a radius on a steel table in the center weld a pipe and jack off of it using a porta power jack. you will have to tack the door to fit the radius, then make some permanent strong backs that weld to the door.

[Brewery]

I toyed with the idea of making some strong backs but am lacking the steel welding table. I think I should go that route tho to prevent them from springing on me.
