Look what I made today

[WDKfan]

I have been putting off working on various projects for a while so I decided to finish one of them. I needed to make some stands for my Ski platform to make it easier to work on them and fuel them. Here's what I come up with:
It started life as a pile of steel

Then poof its done

I only put one bunk on it because the other is being used to support my Mountain dew stash

now all I have to do is paint it and drill the mounting holes for the bunks and the ones to mount it to the platform...and make another:ugh2:

[WDKfan]

[DAG]

nice machine you have there. Looks similar to my Millermatic 210 is that the 212?

Looks good. Maybe add some locking casters and you'll have a sweet shop stand.

So much nicer than my PVC one that I never use.

yep its the 212 I love it, I kinda wish that I had held out and got a 252 I'd love to have a digital voltage readout/adjustment...it costs too much tho.

Grif hit me up in PM with what you need and we can work something out :sneaky:

 

[Papnschmilees]

Yeah the digital readouts are defiantly really nice i ended up getting my 210 cheap when they took them off the showroom floor because the 212's came out. I ended up getting the Trailblazer 302 as well...

I love the digital as well. . but when you think about it really is not needed.
Great looking stand BTW, I need to build me something like that soon.. . .O well maybe next year

im curious as to how far apart the bunks are. im about to make something similar for the sj im getting but i got no idea how far to space them. mines gonna be more of a track to pull it out of the water on.

 

[kurtwolff]

I usually space mine at around 12 or 14", you can make a rig by your shoreline w/ PT 2x4's or 2x6's, w/ either carpet or plastic sliders, and simply winch the ski up the bunks. Easy 1/2 day project and it keeps the ski secure!

 

[WDKfan]

What kurt said, mine are space 12 inches on center for my REV and my friends SJ
