Reference for MINI Build OVAL Height Comparison

Post by Texasbowhunter » September 28th, 2017, 12:34 pm

Yesterday I ordered the MINI gravity feed plans
I think I read all the conversations out there on the various builds and decided on the MINI...
I'm having a hard time visualizing the OVAL size of this unit and was hoping for some guidance...
Now with this said there are some members that has taken pictures of there process and documented them quite well...
It seems that for the biggest portion of the members there isn't any type of comparison to get the visual of the overall size of the MINI...
Any of you guys that has built the MINI and have a picture of you standing next to it could you post it to show the comparison to the size would be helpful
Along that thought would you also describe as to whether you made and changes to size...
Also the length of the legs and diameter of the wheels you used...total
Thanks
paul

I used 8" wheels and added 6 inches to the legs (10" instead of 4") overall height is 51-52".ImageImage

I used 5" wheels, extended the legs to put a shelf for wood, & I made the whole unit a bit taller. Frank told me you can increase the size of the CC by 25% before the size of the FB will need to be increased.

You can't really get a size comparison in the pic, but it's about the same size as mp4's, just a bit taller.
