    Hi Phantomphixer,

    Welcome!

    I'm another one of those airplane nuts. What are you planning on building next in your machining/welding shop?

    Just finished re-engineering my elk trailer. Made it a dually. Use it to have lady friends granddaughter's quad out to the desert when I'm not hunting. Carries 300+ pounds no sweat. Stub axles. Tracks behind my ATV just right.
    Thinking of building a tire breaker/changer.
    This past weekend, modified a hex shaft 1/2" drive to accept snake drills(threaded bits). Took a little annealing to be able to drill out to size. Nice to be able to drill in small area without 90* drill and air hose. I use one of the shorty Porter Cable hex bit holder drills. Think I'll post picks of before and after.
    Thanx for chiming in to you, kbalch and DIYer.
