Very nice build, extremely ingenious use of metal just laying around in stock inventory. It isn't scrap until there is no further use for it and even then would still be useful for ballast. After we moved to Buffalo N.Y from northern Illinois, I still haven't recovered. Still have a lot of stuff still in storage back in Illinois and wife just had hip revision so I am not outside as much as I would like. Gotta build a treadle hammer, power hammer, get lathe running. The 5hp rotary phase converter I built just isn't big enough to start in high speed so undecided on building a 7.5 or buy a vfd. Just so many projects. Closing. I will say again, very nice build.
