All along, for weeks now, you have teased us!  First with your awesome build and now this!

We sit here patiently waiting with stale dry popcorn and you get what for snacks?

I'm speechless...

 It should be interesting to see how this travels on concrete to get out the door.🤔🤔.  

 

You could make some kind of pallet on castors that you can drive it on and off. Be a simple job with your skills.

[Pullstart 62,889]

Wow.  Pages on this thread add up like dingleberries on a cow!  Sorry @SylvanLakeWH visuals I know.

 

@Oldskool so awesome every time I look!  I have a feeling the U joints will work surprisingly well.  At any given time, two needle bearings will be supporting the  are moving very slow.  A poorly installed truck U joint might last 15,000 miles.  This will take years to get to 1,000 miles I bet.

 

As for assembly, what about a couple pieces of plywood on the floor?

I thought of that, but the screws could slide the boards out from underneath. Maybe??

I believe moving forward will turn the drums in, applying pressure together.  Or run two pieces perpendicular to the build so they are on one piece respectively..

I may just set it on 2 planks with pipe rollers under them an just roll it out that way. Time will tell.

True enough on that u-joint, but time will tell. It may never see 1000 miles but there is always room for improvement

There was a time I would stay up all night to do a custom paint job to clearcoat it by sunrise but not now. Besides there is alot of little things to finish up on different aspects.

Disassembly is the easy part. Re-assembly is the hard stuff. Trying to find that nut that fell or remember where that dang 9/16" socket went

Even though I built it, I still took a couple of pictures during disassembly. Lucky there aren't many nuts. I did more drilling and tapping on this build then any other ever.

There's more than one way to skin a cat, than by cutting it's legs off.

[DennisThornton 4,769]

Wonder where that phrase came from?  Doubt "skin a dog" would have caught on...  "Skin a squirrel" makes more sense to me.  Or, coon, possum, rabbit, but "cat"?  Maybe from Chinatown?

It appears it is a smart aleck punch at an old British phrase from the 15 and 1600s which was to do with

 

 There's more ways to kill a dog than hang it. But back then, dog, likely meant human. Not such a good one.

 

The first obvious written phrase in such a manner was by a humorist in the 1840s who was apparently trying to use some sort of Opposite Land connotation...

 

And it's stuck.

Oh aye! Blame the English.

Just for the record I'm somewhat partially English too.
