A Shopmade Fuel Dolly Part 2

[@tomfillmore9710]

Good job buddy that's a excellent idea for a fuel Dolly pretty smart Mr Mike hope you guys are having a great weekend take care

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Tom. The dolly is coming along. I ran into some challenges with the handle though. Watch for that episode next! I hope you guys have a great week end as well. We had a great day today. Lots of sun and pretty warm too!! Take 'er easy!!!

[@OpenAirAdventure]

You and I think alike. The front legs are just what I was thinking.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin"? Well Kenny if you and I think alike, I feel sorry for you buddy!! LOL But the flat bar for the skis seems to be a good solution for the front end though. Thanks for the comments. Take 'er easy!

[@donnarowden6071]

Watched part 1 & now part 2. Looks like a pretty little dolly it turned out to be. You have an idea for just about everything & your ideas work. That must give you a lot of satisfaction

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Well you know what? Not all my ideas work out so I only make videos of the ones that do!! LOL But thanks for the nice comment. Love ya!!

[@Gazman299]

We all make silly mistakes, but the good thing is that no one knows it but us, cause we find a way to make it work anyway. Meanwhile, all of the non-builders that surround us are impressed with our brilliance :-) Your trolly is coming along nicely. I'm very impressed with the 'sled legs' that you built. You are a very clever fella. You always put me in a great mood. Thank you. (and I love that joke :-)

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Well gee whiz thanks for the nice comment. I'm glad I put you in a good mood! I thought that joke was pretty neat too. Making those skis was a good idea I think. They are good and solid and should stand up to the abuse of a rough and rocky terrain like I have here at the camp. And one of the best skills any 'maker' can develop is how to hide their mistakes! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@retiredforlife63]

The skies were a cleaver idea. Looks good so far!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Brain. Thanks! I knew wooden struts out there wouldn't be a good solution. These skis I think will work good. Thanks for commenting. Take 'er easy!

[@BruceLyeg]

Looking good Mike. You're gonna want something sturdy for when it had full containers on it to use as a handle. You're a smart dude, I'm sure you've come up with something that'll work good and be simple

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Bruce. In fact you are right on when you say I need a good sturdy handle. In the next episode I install a handle and then discover some problems with it. Stay tuned to the next exciting episode to see how Grampie gets a handle on his fuel dolly!! LOL I tell ya; I should sell popcorn to you folks who watch this series!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@MissouriOldTimer]

that really turned out very good.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Vernon. The big wheels and the skis seem to be just what it needs eh! Take 'er easy!!

[@janetdickson4451]

Great job. Those wheels should work great as should the skis. I'm sure you'll come up with an awesome idea for the handle.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

I gotta get a handle on this project!! Ha Ha Ha!! I crack myself up!! LOL Love ya!!

[@gravelyman]

Hello Grampie. I'm looking forward to part 3. The ski's you made and the wheel set should support the weight fine. Have a great weekend my friend 🔧👍

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Artie! Thanks! 2 jerry cans with 18 to 20 liters of fuel in them can be pretty heavy plus I wanted big wheels on the dolly to navigate the rough and rocky terrain around the camp. Now if only I could get the handle set up as well as this part! LOL Stay tuned!! Take 'er easy!!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

What a great day to kill a couple hours visiting with you like your just next door old friend. What a great idea bud. It's fun when I see you making something from materials most folks woul have thrown away. Your a credit to all that keep these parts and pieces for projects like this eh! Well old friend. This is one of those posts that are never long enough. Take care and see ya soon fella !

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Dean!! It would be nice if we were neighbors eh!! Imagine all the 'stuff' we could make and create!! I use 'stuff' that is laying around the camp because I'm too cheap to throw anything out or to buy new. Even using the new piece of veranda flooring for the edge board near broke my heart. LOL Anyways, Dean stay tuned for more excitement with this fuel cart build!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

@@GrampiesWorkshop Shine on my friend. For sure I will be giving you a big, bad blue thumb up Under 100 I often give every one an up thumb too. Yer a winner in my books.

[@mikecurtis2585]

Looking great should work nice! We are always praying for you and Nannie 🙏🙏🙏

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Mike. Thanks again for all your prayers for Nannie!! They are much appreciated. This dolly, with the large wheels, should be pretty easy to roll around the property eh! Thanks for the support Mike. Take 'er easy!!

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

“I’m thinking” you put some thought into that project. I’m trying to get a handle on what you’ll do next…😁👍

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I'm thinking I have to stop saying 'I'm thinking' so much eh! LOL And ya, getting a handle on this dolly is proving to be more of a challenge than guessing the fat lady's weight!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@RustyGlovebox]

That is going to be much better than carrying them by hand. Thanks Mike,Cheers

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Lloyd. It's turning into a pretty involved build, but it's a fun project and trying to solve all the 'little issues' that creep into any build is all part of the fun. Take 'er easy!!

[@twinbrookacres]

I was having flashbacks to metal shop in high school! 😂 I cant wait for the next episode to see what you pull out of the scrap pile to make the handle.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I figured bending up that flat bar would be pretty simple, but I was having trouble getting it to fit in the vice and not have the bench in the way. I guess the bench design was not the best!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@wendingourway]

Now you need to find someone who is getting rid of an old "Red Flyer" and use that handle. Always something great going on in that shop. Awesome! Have a great week ahead!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin"? Ah yes the old Red Flyers. I bet every kid had one of those eh! I know the one I had, I stripped it down and used the wheels on a push car/soap box derby when I was a kid!! LOL Thanks for the nice comment Bruce. Arrf Arrf Otis and take 'er easy!

[@keegantimber8571]

Good job Mike! Reminded me of a blacksmiths shop today! 👍👍

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Jim. I wish I had a little brake for the shop. It would have made bending that flat bar a whole lot easier. Thanks for the comment. Take 'er easy!!

[@PinetreeLine]

It’s looking good Mike! I always appreciate that you repurpose materials no matter where they come from. Enjoy your weekend Brother!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Brother when you are as cheap as I am, repurposing is the only way to go! LOL Thanks for tuning in and take 'er easy!!

[@ronniehoward6601]

I like it . I might have to steal your idea. The older I get I'm always looking for ways to make life easier. I'm looking forward to the next step on the fuel cart. I hope everyone is doing well and we will keep praying for you and Nannie. I'll see you on the next one.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? As always Ronnie, your prayers are very much appreciated!! Lifting the jerry cans to empty them in the bulk tank is a young man's game. I hope with this fuel dolly, getting fuel to the machines will be a lot easier!! Thanks for tuning in and God Bless you!!

[@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead]

You went all fancy too, with the skis and you painted them….thats very Clever!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? You know I'm into a project when I break out the paint can!! LOL Thanks for the comments Garry. How's your 'big' shop coming? Take care!!

[@peacefieldfarm_mn]

Can't wait for episode 3. What a CLIFF HANGER!! Cheers!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Holy crow Mike, I hope the edge isn't wore off your seat!! In the next exciting episode I install a handle but things don't go as smooth as silk, so check it out!!! Problems will be encountered!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

The fuel dolly is progressing well and it is looking good. The wheels look perfect for this project. Great cliff hanger 🙂 I am looking forward to seeing the next part of the build

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Joseph. The next episode is getting a handle on the dolly! It even sounds exciting when you say it eh! LOL Take 'er easy!!

The fuel dolly is going to work. I’m sure but I’m happy you’re not being paid by the hr but hey…..it’s just a pass time…..CHEERS

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! I was just saying to Nannie today, I could buy one for $80 bucks, but it wouldn't be 'an ultimate fuel dolly" LOL And hey anyone can 'buy' one, but only us crazies who live in the woods would make it!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

I would have found someone else to blame for the holes drilled too low Oh, no...another cliff hanger!! Looks good, Mike. Not as good as the squirrel condo will look, but good. As always, take care be good, hello to Nanny and a pat for all the little animals!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I'm not too sure if my ulcer will last through all the excitement and drama of this build. I'm telling ya, I'm about ready to spit up blood. My guts are churning like a blender!! And I'm the guy doing the video so I can only imagine what you must be going through. Take some Pepto-bismol and and a couple of aspirin and you'll be OK. Take care!!

[@donnarowden6071]

My finger hit the send button or whatever you call it which seems to a habit of mine lately so i guess i can' t blame my phone for doing it anymore.. heeheehee! I like these 2 videos ...i like when you build things best. Take er easy .. 🎉catch you next week. Love ya

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Well that's too bad if you cut off the sound. But maybe it was good too. LOL I like building things from parts and pieces of 'junk' from around the camp and then if these things are practical and useful, well that's all gravy eh!! Love ya!!

Good morning Mike, really like the big wheels, I think the cart is going to roll much easier. I am with Paul, I think a cross support for the legs is in your future. Love the white board 😂👍. Have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍🍻

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Ben. Glad you liked the white board! LOL I was concerned too about side ways force on the skis, but they seem pretty sturdy. I'll have to keep an eye on them though and see how they hold up! Take 'er easy!!

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Great head way Mike on the Fuel Buddy Cart. 😁 When you were a figurine how to get the axle through, because you missed measured, I was thinking, hammer and chisel is what I’d use. And you did the same thing I was thinking. 👍🏻 I was thinking a handle on the ski end of the Cart and pick up and pull. Your thoughts on that. I’m sure Janet and you will have a great weekend, nice weather. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋🇨🇦

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I made some careful measurements for the axle holes Noel and look what happened. Then I tried to make accurate locations for the holes for the skis and that went south too!! So no more measuring for me!! Ha Ha Ha! I never thought of a handle on the front. The idea I have for a handle is an old push mower handle, but put it on the wheel end!! I'm cooking up plan for that right now! LOL Take 'er easy and big celebrations this weekend. Gold Cup and Saucer!! Lots of partys eh!! Take 'er easy!!

[@codraven57]

It's coming together and shaping it........looks factory..............

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks for the nice comment. I think this dolly is going to be pretty good, but I have to say, in the next episode I run into some challenges I wasn't expecting. The cliff hanger series continues!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@JelenOutDoors]

It's looking good Mike. Won't be long before you'll be rolling fuel to your machines. I was thinking of the weight of the fuel cans, if some side force is applied before raising the dolly will the skis twist. I guess that is something to test out to whether a crossbar for the skis is needed or not. Have a good one!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? You know Paul I was concerned about that, especially when I was going to use some 4 x 4 for the skis, but now that the flat bar is on there is seems pretty sturdy on the side to side movement. It's something I need to be aware of though. Thanks for mentioning it and take 'er easy!!

Hello Mike. I had a thought, so I watched your video again. Since the dolly is the perfect width for the wheels from a lawn mower, I wonder if it might also be the perfect width for the handle from the lawn mower. Take care, Ben
