Wheel chocks

[Fla Jim]

This morning I made some wheel chocks for the casters on the stand I made for my HF bandsaw. As Morpheus Correctly noticed The casters are HF's three dollar finest, without locks.
I've still got to prime and paint them. I tried them on my sloping driveway, and the saw didn't roll.
The new stand is high enough that I can use the support stands I bought years ago for my tablesaw.

In place on the stand

Are those attached to the wheels.
I would like to make some for my welding table that would attach to the casters so I could lock or unlock em. I tried to get lockable casters when I bought them but they didn't have them and I was in a hurry.

They just slide into place, and keep the wheels from rolling in either direction kind of like aircraft chocks.

looks good Jim ! I'll make me a set and see how they work.

How about a close up of the stand that holds your mig gun ...

Clever placement of the mug and grinder....

I "sketched" and posted the chocks we use at work on your other thread. They seem to work well too. But I like yours better, as the inverted-angle just looks cool!

Jack;
The magnetic Mig gun holder is another of HF's finest. #3642, about 5 bucks. It's really handy. I think I spend half my life looking where I set things down.

Actually the grinder was there. But I must confess I did pose the Miller coffee cup to get some comments. I have enough iron in my diet without having it in my coffee too .

that's from HF ... I can't believe I missed it

does it come with the magnet ?

I agree that your pic looks like an ad for Miller, Ridgid, and Stanley

[Fla Jim]

Yep it comes with the magnet base.
Don't forget Harbor freight too

[morpheus]

Oh no, definitely didn't forget HF! I'm working on getting "sponsored" ... If I just had a race car or work truck to put the HF stickers on. Don't think my workbench or welding cart will be quite the kind of exposure that HF is looking for

I would be scared the "HF stickers would be like their manuals; photo copies of poor english translations

I try to go at odd hours so people don't recognize me.

this one time, I was parking my suzuki samurai ****box, and this guy rolls up in a hummer. I follow him into the hf store and he's standing there in his designer polo and chamoflaged shorts looking at the sale flyer. What a yuppie. After buying that $40,000+ pos h2 he's concerned about paying $2 too much for whatever hf sells?

i'm done laughing now

[RobertTX]

He was probably buying gifts for his friends.

He may have been rich at some point, but at 10MPG street and 11 on the highway, he's probably reduced to HF sale shopping just to feed that bloated/useless pig...

I can just visualize a HF "sticker" now. It would be an off center and out of focus photcopy of the mis-spelled original that itself was a photcopy of a photocopy so it's not real "sharp" looking. It wouldn't actually be a sticker either. Just a piece of paper to cut out and one (1) strip of clear tape to adhere it with
