Clockwork Doughnut Cart: Part Four - The Chassis

Lots of people have reminded me that the doughnut cart is still not finished - thank you. In fact, I walked past it everyday so I already knew that! Finally back working on it now and it’s great. I love it really, even though the weight issue is a bit of a challenge. How to reduce the weight and still maintain rigidity. That’s the challenge for next time..

Part 5 please. I am fascinated!

[@ronmartinmhg2804]

I've just been watching you doughnut cart project. Very interesting and fascinating. Did you get past episode 4 and get it finished, or is it still on the back burner?

[@AlbertFilice]

Also wondering

[@sharonlong8969]

I do love the way you point things out. Brilliant! I giggled my head off when I read the your description. Well done, Tim!

[@edsautter51]

Really like watching this build. Keep up the good ideas. Can't wait to see it completed.

[@alangknowles]

Did it EVER get completed and used?

[@lizzey5567]

Im using these videos to make my own set of wooden wheel i didnt know how they could spin apart from each other. Thanks to this ive become more smarter in making wooden wheels. Thx🤗✌

[@WayOutWestx2]

Glad I could help!

[@meehan302]

I have no doubt that you will come up with something extraordinary.

[@cragcrawler]

I can almost smell the old fashioned glazed doughnuts now!

[@68HC060]

For a stronger lazy susan, you could use 8 small fixed caster wheels (eg. rollers). Put them equal distance from the center, 45° between each. Their orientation should be 90° to the center, so that the board would ride on top of them (that is, so the axis point towards the center). If they're not strong enough, you can use 16 or 32.

[@benmatthews3732]

You are just amazing! Good luck. (Beth)

[@joaquinpenaenrique3252]

Me encantan sus trabajos. Enhorabuena

[@Pece2uall]

I'm ready to order my doughnuts, lol ; )

[@williamsigsworth2109]

well done old fruit im av a go at this just like the wheels your a gent sir bludy diamond please carry on

[@williamsigsworth2109]

iv loved this one 2 another one for the scrapbook wat a saving I'm going to save *****😎

[@donaldasayers]

I had to build a cart for a school play, much like yours, I ended up using "Allways" ball bearing castors to take the vertical load. I worked well. I have/had a relative called Susan. She was very industrious with lots of Methodist/Protestant work ethic. she would hate to be thought lazy. So I have a little giggle every time I think of a lazy Susan bearing. I also giggle at "Brass butt hinges" they remind me of someone too.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

good to see you back with the build, I use a lazy Susan to do panning shots while filming, Other alternatives for the bearing i have used ,(not for building doughnut carts) are swivel chairs which if they can take my weight should be ok with cart carrying elephants the other was the pulley bearing and assemble from the back of a washing machine drum these normally have a wheel and a bracket attached but i am sure you have your own list

[@WayOutWestx2]

***** Ha! Excellent ideas Paul. Good job I didn't think of the chair idea first or Sandra's office chair may have mysteriously disappeared : - ) I'll give this a go first and see how it holds up. It might be fine just as it is - if I can reduce the weight it's carrying..

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

In liverpool swivel chairs have the life of Riley, often in the mornings I find them lying in the street obviously still drunk from the night before and having been kicked out of the house.

[@WayOutWestx2]

***** Shocking behaviour! Someone needs to take them in hand!

[@rheidtech]

Amazing

[@marthaanderson2656]

fascinating I hope the "two wheel drive" gives you enough maneuverability

[@Strangernightg]

Hello Allie , that cart that you made looks great! I love the way that you put it together. By the way I also like your blog , I'll be subscribing and giving you a thumbs up on all the videos that I see . It's 11:30 pm here in NYC and I'll be checking out as many videos as I can until the middle of the night. Peace,love and respect to you and your family!

Parabéns mais um inscrito

[@lucaduke1921]

Would love to see the next generation of this cart! Maybe a gofund me page?!

[@irinagore250]

super

[@avibank]

Part 5!!!!

[@briancarlin8484]

I'm not sure if you should have the axle below the spring as the weight is only being held up by the bolts

[@spinaway]

I would make my own lazy susan with three pieces of 5 mm plate steel with a 1"pin through the middle.

[@avrilcrisp30]

I cant find the final video to see the do-nut cart in all its glory. Anyone know the title of the video please?

[@MultiChaga]

Not warm in the barn?

[@steampainter]

Did you ever finish and use this cart?

[@WayOutWestx2]

It was going to be too heavy - I need to rebuild it with lighter materials

[@jamessmithandgarrettsmith3623]

@@WayOutWestx2 Or have the cart be wider to bare more weight (You can reuse the old frames for some sort of boxcar or coach if your railway attracts tourists)

[@alliesalasa9884]

Hi there, (for steering) you can perhaps try to use an old car hub(the whole drum) or use two hubs(the ones that disk brakes attach to) on top of each other(with grease in between them)...best regards, Good luck!

[@WayOutWestx2]

+Allie Salasa Thanks Allie, but I suspect it would add too much weight?

[@alliesalasa9884]

+WayOutWest Blowinblog Not so much actually, give me your email and I could perhaps send you some suggestions(pictures and brackets) of what people do with horse carts here in South Africa. Also like your idea for the wheels.

Thank you for thgis video, i would like to know where can i buy this tools for the rotation, i don't know the name, but the video scho that at the one minute and 49 second. Thank you

[@WayOutWestx2]

+Yannick Yomen They're called Lazy Susan bearings - you should be able to find them online - good luck

How did the lazy Susan work (Did it stand up to all the pulling and dugging around).

[@WayOutWestx2]

Andy Gilligan I've been working on the guitar machine, Andy. (Very exciting!) So, I've had not time to work on this project. Soon though, I hope.

[@CALOCALKY]

I be thinking get red of lazy susan and use a pin and r clip same as on wheels between the two moving piece of ply wood and possibly up into cart.Put a grease nipple at the center of wooden hub .If the ply is tight it will give u rigidity and the grease will work its way out from the the inside protecting wood from friction and allowing the wooden hub to turn esely ..That,s my two sent,s worth .Your looking and doing the work you will have a feel for what,s right you

[@WayOutWestx2]

Michael O Callaghan Yes, I think that would work too, Michael. I think the lazy susan may work fine though. I'll give it a chance anyway...

[@WayOutWestx2]

[@antharch]

Gosh, I thought you'd say something like ash. I presume it's strong enough.

[@roundhousetrainspotting]

when will we get part 5?

[@WayOutWestx2]

The project is on hold while I figure out how to make the whole thing lighter..

[@ralpha679]

Fibreglass?

[@iliketobuildstuff7013]

lol the project has been on hold 3 years.. its easy to let time slip by without noticing it.

[@horsesrule1214]

Were you able to finish it? And did anyone buy some doughnuts? :P

[@WayOutWestx2]

That project is on hold - the superstructure was too heavy so I need to start again with lighter materials..

[@augustosilva33]

É pra isso que eu pago internet

[@thefaeryman]

what about an conical axle bearing hub like on a trailer wheel mounted vertically, sorry for the rough visual, like this link below to show my thought. it may handle the weight and turn smoother. www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/martin-wheel-5-bolt-pressed-stud-hub-repair-kit-for-1-1-16-in-axle

[@WayOutWestx2]

Rev John O'Toole Thanks John, yes, that could work too. I looked at them but they were really expensive to buy new, so I will give this arrangement a chance first. (Lazy Susans are cheap!)

[@thefaeryman]

WayOutWest Blowinblog maybe you can keep one on the cart in case you have to replace one on the sire of the road. best
