What do you build?

Weldman, you are the Michaelangelo of pole barns!

But I tell you it scares me to think of you walking on those light-guage studs, man they're not dersigned for lateral loads like that. But I know you used your horse sense there about it.

Now how did you work those rounded cap end pieces, are those soemthing you just weld on?

A year in the making picture…

I could flood this thread on things I have built and this project.

Pretty amazing that you pulled it off in just one year.

We love the projects, bring 'em all on, Brother!!

Loving the updates, Weldman!

Couplathree questions for you:

- What is that insulation, some kind of spray-on product? Thickness (just to kill the radiant heat from the metal panerls into the space)?

- And things look mighty dry out there (soil, grasses and all), is that regular for your part of Montana?

Me and the wife laid the slab down, 27 cubic yards last Friday our first one going on day two and I'm really feeling the soreness now.

That is some serious yeaoman's work you and your sweetheart placed there. Outstanding.

The service pit is brilliant!!

Man. Nice job!!

Thanks,
Was a last minute idea as in 48 hours remembered I wanted one, tried building the form with wood, but was too twisted so next day grabbed some 5 inch channel iron and next morning put last rebar in and welded it put it in and within a hour the concrete truck showed up.

Glad you kept your cool. Nice work!

How did you screed that slab (especially the portions in the middle):

- no intermediate formwork to guide on

Did you drive pieces of vertical rebar to-height randomly around the area? Or just how did you work that?!

Nice work looks like laser cut pieces...I build the 12 and 24 volt alt brackets for the duece as well as front and rear hitches for them to..i am now making alt brackets for the 800 and 900 series trucks to..i have built to much to list but some of my cooler things are my machines i built. my latest is a 5 axis 4x8 cnc plasma-router table with water table and rotary axis..

I’d like to know more about your alt brackets for 900 series. I would like to add a 12 volt alternator to my Commins NCH250. Are you planning on selling these brackets?

Getting closer to being able to put my MV in and tear into it working on it. Can't wait, will be first time to have such nice place and a concrete floor.

Weldman, it's a work of art; no kidding.

Just curious, did you ever make a sketch of your idea before starting on the build? Or are you just building as you go?!
