eseemann Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 FYI, My workshop is a total mess right now. There was no tornado or anything, it would better after that. So the biggest problem I have been having with a press is making my rails line up and my welds holding. I had an idea to try using CAT 1 drawbars since they are already drilled. I got a crazy good deal on some for around $19.00 each and shipping was $30.00 for all 6 of them. The bolts are CAT 5 3/4 inch bolts. I like this idea since I can change the configuration as needed. The angle iron I squished is about 3/8" thick. The angle iron was cold when I smashed it. I was out of the line of fire if it shattered and I had a full face mask. Also check out this ginormous pin I got at the scrap yard a while back, I am thinking rail car, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
