Re: Doing somthing sneaky for christmas.
Thats a big a** bumper! You did an awsome job.
How does it look from the side? I'm going to have to check back in to see it cleaned up and painted.

Re: Doing somthing sneaky for christmas.
It doesn't have any sides! lol
That is tomorrows job. I need to finish that, and work on getting the light buckets built, but the first order of business will be to get the brackets adjusted so as that it will fit on the truck right.

Re: Doing somthing sneaky for christmas.
About 125-150 lbs, it is getting hard to pick up. I can barely pick it up with one hand so its right in there somewhere.

Re: Doing something sneaky for christmas.
So... the driving question, how do you do dual miter cuts on a piece of 6 1/2" OD pipe on a 4.5" capacity band saw?
You measure the entire saw, load it into autocad, then you build a jig of course! I just got the drawing done, will have completed pics in a bit!

Another drawing, showing the arc of the saw cut and the clearances.

Re: Doing something sneaky for christmas.
That bumper looks scary just the way it is. I know it will look better painted, but man I would be tempted to drive it just like that for a while. Can you imagine driving your Honda Civic down the interstate and looking in your rear-view mirror and seeing that huge rusty bumper in your mirror?

Re: Doing something sneaky for christmas.
Wellllllll I have advised him that he might not want to try playing chicken with an 18 wheeler or Diesel Locomtoive... but other than that he should be pretty good to go.

Re: Doing somthing sneaky for christmas.

I like it!

Re: Doing something sneaky for christmas.
Thanks guys, the first cut is almost done, going to take a loooong time. I have 6 more cuts to do, 2 of which will be half cuts, so they wont be so bad, but this round has taken about an hour and 45 minutes to cut through. Going to be a late night.

Re: Doing something sneaky for christmas.
Well, I just broke another band saw blade, so no more work on it till the AM, I need to make a tractor supply run anyhow. Hopefully they have got blades in, because I bought the last one the other day. No one else around here carries them.

Re: Doing something sneaky for christmas.
I kinda thought that might be coming since it took so long on the first cut.

I have a titanium plate and 32 screws in my face, and I broke my back twice in one sitting, Sleep isn't really my friend any more.

Re: Doing something sneaky for christmas.
Ooooh man. That's bad. So since you're awake you might as well be doing something productive eh? I'll say it again, you do good work.
