I built a rotisserie to assist in doing all the welding, painting, etc that I need to do on my various projects. I built it from 1/4'' wall steel pipe, 1200 lb capacity casters and my MIG. A short pipe enables it to be rolled around out of the way for storage. I'm not quite finished, a couple more hours should do it.

Is the long pipe going to have pins to hold it in place also? looks good so far.... when can we see pictures of a model T body mounted?

You probably know this but balance is a big deal with these things. You have to have control over the weight when turning the body as they tend to swing down when rotating. Don't ask...………...

Yeah the extended pipe will be pinned. I'm putting a spring loaded stop pin into a drilled plate so I can lock the position every 15 degrees or so. I'm headed towards 70. there won't be too heavy a project on this by me. My main focus will be spinning a frame to make work easier on my back.lol The new pipe was given to me 5 years ago by a neighbor, so MIG supplies and 4 casters is all I have in it.
