What to make for metals class?

[WheelieMan4]

I need a project...can take up to 9 weeks to do. Throw out some ideas, thanks!

[yellowzo3]

do you get to work on it everyday? or just a few days a week? you could maybe make a bumper for your truck if you drive. maybe a small trailer or something if you need one to take the quad riding. :confused: ...are you into trucks or anything?

[zeppelin]

id do something like a stand for your quad, and put a design or something in the top of it.

[Rico400]

why dont u make like a +2 swinger? And maybe some +2 A-arms.


or build a frame and stuff for a go-kart and throw a blaster engine in it.

Maybe make some front an back bumpers for a truck.

lol i dunno just throwing some stuff out on top of my head.

5 days a week...90 min classes...

Yea I have a truck, but dont really need to build anything for that. Making some a-arms would be great, lol, but that wouldnt last. I kinda like that quad stand idea...I think I might try to find some plans on that. Anyone else with some ideas?

[monson]

maybe some loading ramps to put your quad into a truck

[Stevie-D]

all these ideas are bringing back memories. built a quad stand, ramps, etc in metal shop wheni i was still in school. also lift blocks for the old dakota:D definately good times. enjoy it while it lasts man!!!

[nosliw]

badass wheelie bar/garden plow for your quad

[72 chevelle ss]

So far in my metals class I made a trailer for my quad, a gocart with a streetbike motor in it, a treestand, and a skid plate for my truck

[WheelieMan4]

Im going to try the stand...will prlly not take to long. I already have loading ramps and a trailer...skids is a good idea, but I would have no idea on how to go about making some of those??

That's what I made and when the teacher asked what I was using it for and I said to jump a quad off of, he called me ignorant, reported it to the principle and had a new rule put into effect prohibiting the building of any ramps to be built to jump anything motorized off of.

[Scott-300ex]

I say make a trailer and if you got one already um let me think.......................................free time and supplies and an A+ for building it........................Uh, $500 for selling it. Yeh thats wut I would do!!!!!!!

I've wanted to make a trailer at my house just for something to do and sell it and make $$$$$$$$$$$, it would be fun. But I don't have a welder or torch, my uncle's do though. LoL/

[John Pennella]

I'm making an engine stand with a removable oil pan at the bottum of it with a drain plug in my metals shop The pan will keep the garage a lot cleaner when I'm tearing a V8 down thats why i did it.
