Pullstart 62,897 #1 Posted November 1, 2022 So, I married a couple on the 22nd of last month (they didn’t marry me though) and I’ve been waiting for this sign to get cut. Time for a stand. They just recently purchased a diesel pusher and we thought a great gift would be a sign for their campsite. It does need to be easy to assemble and store. I have some 1/2” conduit that I’ll start with. I taped 12” and backed Poppy onto the tube, then worked it around the tire. I hope to be able to get it a true 180 degree bend. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,897 #2 Posted November 1, 2022 I’ll cut the long end of the tube and get working on some feet. I was going to make it a tripod, but little welded feet should work just fine too. 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,897 #7 Posted November 1, 2022 Looking around the shop, I realized 1/2” pex snug fits inside 1/2” conduit. I pressed it in about 10” or so, then cut it off. Now my legs won’t be metal on metal, making noise all day. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,897 #9 Posted November 1, 2022 Some 3/8” solid rod, 3/4” angle iron, and nifty fasteners should finish this out well. I’m going to attempt to turn the rods down to a shoulder, drill a small hole in the center of the angle, then weld it together from the back side. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
