I did not even saw those burrs before I looked at those macro shots :)

Yes, I got two different thicknesses of teflon tape.

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

Not to hijack your thread but where did you find Teflon tape.??? I've tried googling it to no avail..
I follow these threads and Frizzen is right the work you do is incredible.....

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

If you search Ebay with "PTFE Adhesive Tape" you should find some :)

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

Got it thank you .!!! I was looking for Teflon tape and got all kind of weird hits....didn't think about PTFE...We used it in the military years ago to insulate lighthouse tubes(I know old technology ) ...wanted to put it inside my screw drives....

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

Glad you found a source for some tape, otherwise i was going to have to ask how much you needed and hope shipping to finland wasn't too crazy.

Keep up the killer work!

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

Here's a picture of how I placed the ptfe tape (those brown pads on the brass angles).
The second picture is just a closeup of the welds.

I have continued welding parts permanently together, there's still lots of seams to weld:eek:

Wow, you are doing very well with your Lampert welder. I picked up an Orion welder last year. No time for the models but fixed some of my wife's cheap thin steel lawn ornaments.

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

Welds are looking perfect :D

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

Amazing work Hemi!

How will you sequence the hydraulics to extend in the correct order? Will you make a series of sequencing valves?

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

I'm trying to go without any sequencing valves, and hope that the order the oil goes to cylinders, will extend them starting from the first/largest extension.
The plumbing is going to be difficult enough already in this way:)

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

If it does decide it needs help to sequence the segments correctly, you could probably make it work some little plates with a 'metered orifice' installed at hose connections, or making a 'calibrated crimp' in a hard line.

That's some pretty micro welding. I wish i were that good at full size.

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

I got rest of the cylinder brackets welded in place :)

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

I test fitted the crane to my old Tamiya based dump truck to see how it fits :)
One thing for sure, it's going to need some serious support legs to keep the truck upright:eek:

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

@Hemi1966 Fit it to that truck just remove the dump body and put a flatbed body on it

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

:jaw:Put that on that just remove the dump body and put a flatbed on it

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

Work of art, impressive!! :jaw::jaw:

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

Work of art indeed. Looking forward to the day we can see a very long video of it working.

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

Thanks guys :)

Here's the start of the support legs. (cross section of it)

I've been machining some smaller parts for the extension cylinders. (The squares on the paper are 5x5 mm.)
