I made a couple of these for working on big trucks and semi trailers or other heavy projects. Work great as anvils too and I sometimes use them as jackstands for pickup trucks, just take the forklift and raise rear of truck and set on these.

They look about big enough on top to drive a train on!

They are made of 3 inch drill pipe and railroad track. I never calculated the weight capability but they probably weigh over 200# and I usually move them with a forklift.Comment

Got one looks like that, but the rail is inverted. We use it as an anvil fro straightening bailer needles; Trouble is, nobody wants to do that job a second time.Comment

Sberry,
I have a question about your saw horses, since I want to make my own also.
How did you control warpage on the bottom 2 horizontal tubes when you welded them to the vertical tubes? With my luck, the bottom tubes would warp, and then the saw horses would rock back and forth, pissing me off every time!
Thanks,

You could put plate feet on it if it happened but I used only a single pass of weld to minimize distortion. More than that I am sure it would have warped. Thats why I didnt add a gusset. If you did add one dont weld it all the way. Just an inch or so each side on the toes.Last edited by Sberry; 09-10-2003, 07:15 PM.Comment

Any truth to the rumor that Amtrak had to close their service around Lake Michigan due to lack of rails for some reason?Last edited by Sambo; 09-12-2003, 07:31 PM.Comment

Ya, I torched them right out of there, didnt figure they would miss a few feet, but dont worry, I took the same from both sides.Comment

A few years back the wiff had to ride the Scamtrak bus from ****cogo to Detroit cause the train don't go to Detroit any more. Now I know why.
Seems like them trains shoulda been able to handle the pothole Berry put in their tracks, they expect us to be able to deal with their crossings. There been a few times I wanted to torch a pothole in a rail just for payback.Comment
