On this episode of WTF we added the main/roll bar hoop. Bending that thing was fun. Getting 4 bends all right took some massaging.

Next up on WTF the hip tube.

On another note I scored this Hydrostatic transmission. I'm thinking a new improved yard/utility kart.
No reason a guy can't have two projects at the same time is there?

Lookin' good :cheers2:

FYI:
This guy has a bunch of videos on building crosskarts

Here is a video about a frame Jig that he uses, to help keep everything aligned

There is also a couple of videos (4 parts) about IRS & the center spool
...here is part 1 :thumbsup:

I hate the IRS. It's never affordable.

You obviously have not purchased my correspondence course on dumpster diving, scrounging, and stealing to support your habit.
You could learn a lot. Chapter 8 is " how to build a complete IRS system for $2.67"
I was speaking on the Internal Revenue Service.

I have one of those sitting under the overhang of my shop, and one in a lawn mower I'm going to haul off for someone. That mower doesn't have a deck, so it's going to get slammed to the ground and the diff in the rear welded.

Hey Master Hack, do you think someone could do decent fabrication with a conduit bender?

Well, not likley. Tubing, EMT conduit and pipe all have different ODs. Rigid conduit is the same as pipe l believe. Unless you have a bender for rigid conduit, I think you would be better off using one of the HF pipe benders.
I’m assuming you mean rigid conduit as EMT is not suitable.
