That machine looks sooooooooo goooooooooood. I'm in love. I just went to Millers site, the first time in a few years. Imagine what could be done with the 700 :shock:

Bob,

Is that multi joint from a real fabrication, or is it a test / training piece? If it's from a real job, I'd love to see what it was.

With his record, that 700 Dynasty may well have actually been a little Transtig 180. ............ I swore I'd not get into that tale / trail of let downs :oops:

The big one is too big for what we are dooing, theres a good chance that a week or more will go by where this thing doesnt get looked at, but when we need to use it it'll be right there and ready

Got my frame in today and it looks fucking sweet. Hardly a scratch on it and I paid $150.00 + shipping for it. :woot: My friends wife works at the DMV so I'm going to see what I can do about getting a title. I don't really need one but it would be nice (especially since taxes would be based on the $150.00 purchase price).

I'll start a thread soon Bob, once I get a bit further along.

BTW, what size holes for the plug welds on the extensions/cradle? Also, are you looking to get the cradle to extension joint butted tight together or a little gap so the weld gets to the 3/4" insert aswell? I'm a carpenter so I ask stupid questions like this. :wink: :lol:

Thanks man and Merry Christmas!

I leave a gap so the dowel and cradle peices are all welded together. I drilled something like 1/4" holes, just enough to use a screw driver to push the dowels up into place.

So maybe 1/8" gap then Danny?

yeah, I think I did closer to 1/4" so he could get a nice bead in there.

I had always wondered how you guys got it all together with the 3/4" stock in there. Makes sense now.

Great work on those and thanks for the pics. They went straight to my "Misc Build Pics" file. :wink:
