New project from Curacaví, Chile

[Bati]

Hello everybody.

Finally my press is growing. Not much time to work on it, having a office work, a 15 months toddler and another coming, but we'll find the way to make it. I'm starting with this project at my partent's house, in Curacavi, a folk location close to Santiago and a great place to let your imagination work.

I just got some beams from demolished barn. I think it will be strong enough, and save a lot of steel, bolts, cutting and welding.

This is a pic of the base and towers. Not finished dimensions, but a good aproaching. Base will measure 40x220cm. Enough for two 190 fat skis at the time.



Well, i'll continue posting the progress.

Saludos, Emilio.

Today's update

nice use of trussed materials.

others have speculated that a gap between your metal sections is bad.

holy crap, what are going going to fill in the space with?

Do you mean the 10cm lengthwise gap between the beams?
Due to it will have a 1,5" wood base over the beams, it doesn't matter, no torsion there.

That's if you don't use a thick base over it. No complaints on that.

No, I mean vertically. looks like half a meter or more.

Nice looking frame.

I'm just as interested in your guitars.

Oh, yes, 60cm... it's a mistake... I'm thinking to re weld it to 30cm
