Precision Fit
I have been generating a small amount of interest in my homebuilt rotisserie and have decided to put this up, hope it's ok with you Pete.
OK, to start I will list what I used for material
251" of 2 1/2"x2 1/2"x 3/16" wall square tubing, this material provides the base and main upright. Base is 60", upright is 41 1/2" to center, leg is 24".
48" of 2"x2"x1/8" square tubing for the gussets on the main post, 12" each.
64" of 2"x2"x1/8" angle, this is used to bolt the body to, each piece 16".
18" of 2 1/2" round OD with a 3/16" wall for the main pivot point and 20" of 1 15/16" OD or the equivalent to slide inside for the rotation point, this should be a nice snug fit for obvious reasons.
Approx 15' of 2"x2"x1/8" for spanning the body and attaching the pivot point to.
Some small pieces of 1/4" plate for attachment points.
6 coasters with a 6" wheel but you could put anything that rolls easily here.
The hooks are lifting points for an overhead hoist system.
This is a fully welded project and if you do not feel comfy doing it yourself PLEASE have a qualified person help you if you are planning to build this, remember it will hold the ENTIRE weight of your project. I built this from what I saw on the internet and what was floating around in my own head, make whatever adjustments/improvements you see fit.
