Keyser Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 All the work carried out in the ZedShed takes its toll on the tools so sometimes a bit of maintenance is required and sometimes even a bit of improvement. So starting with the boring maintenance - My welder The arm for moving it around has broken So I bent a piece of scrap metal over an old bar cut it to shape Cleaned it and welded it on - first time I have welded a welder That's that sorted Now improvement I have in my collection of compressors this little 60 litre 2.5HP Hunter - its great because its mobile and is mostly used for the air fed mask when sandblasting or spraying as it can sit outside away from the dust, dirt or spray. However I hit a pothole a while ago and the crappy plastic wheels shattered So I bough these But not to replace the crappy ones - O no this is the ZedShed - you need to think bigger - I have to move this compressor from the front garden all the way to the back garden.... Thinking bigger? Think Off road - I mean this much bigger So firstly we need a new axel Then onto the front silly rubber bungs So welded a new axel on the front - However I had some arch rub No worries in true Zed style Piece of pipe 2 short lengths we have spacers Perfect clearance Now that's a mod Check the camber on that It's a mad, mad world K 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 That compressor should have its own build thread. As each visitor comes they must don it with modifications. For instance, paint, spoiler, splitter and so on. Custom made of course but it would be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Not sure if I have any pics, will have a look in the albums. Got into the qualifiers the round before you get on TV. Our robot was called Anagram. Built it with my father in law was a good laugh. Razor was from Bournemouth I know the builder he used to run a model shop down here in westbourne he was one of the scrutineers when we went up to London for the competition. All that's left now is the batteries and a couple of motors one I used to make my electric soil sieve. Ahh the good old days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
