chip box project

[lumberjack]

I was also thinking on the inside, but if you wanted signs, just put the decals on the painted face of the steel insert.

Why not sandwich it with steel plate on both sides? Just seems like it would look like a more finished job.... but then there's the weight....

 

[arborworks1]

I was looking at more chip capacity with the plate on the outside

Two thin skins would be ideal. Weight should not be much of an issue.

 

[SkwerI]

Chips get wedged in the crevices if the skin is on the outside. It becomes a big hassle with crud getting stuck and will also rust out faster. And the 1" isn't going to make a whole heck of a lot of difference in capacity. Unless you're packing the chips in the truck by hand, one at a time.

Good reason to fill the crevices with caulking or epoxy.

Jeaz I leave for a few hours, and you guys went from talking about chip box doors to looking at rear ends. Back to the normal thread please!

 

[Newfie]

Don't look at me... I was watchin' what I was supposed to be watchin'...

Wear a belt tomorrow. I was just trying NOT to fall into the Grand Canyon.

Youse guys have dirty minds.

 

[lumberjack]

Why were you so close to the edge??

Why were you so close to the edge??

Not nearly enough room in the woods for the two of us fat bastards.

 

[NeTree]

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down...







Brendon, ya gonna skin that door or go with stretch mesh?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Why were you so close to the edge??

Because he's a YES fan!

 

[brendonv]

It's getting mesh on the inside. No signs, I go incognito these days.

 

[brendonv]

I welded the mesh on last night. Love the new gate.

Chip box is in production this week finally too.

 

[arborworks1]

Looks good. I'm getting things lined up to get a flatbed dumper on the isuzu.

 

[NeTree]

Looks good.

 

[brendonv]

Anyone interested in the box?

Bottem is 2x2 square, skinned with aluminum diamond plate. Top is removal with 8 bolts, 1.5 x 1.5 square, skinned with ply. Ladder rack and pole holder.

 

[rangerdanger]

Come on, let's see some pics of that new box!!

 

[brendonv]

Just picture a pile of aluminum tube.

Brendon, why are you gonna go without signs on the new box? Signs help bring in work.
