Cray pot tipper
Submitted by Bryce Day on Tue, 2016-10-04 02:02
Well after seeing a few pot tippers on gumtree, most being not suitable for my needs (either to small or to light wall thickness) I decided to knock one up. Only problem was I was at work and cray season is rapidly approaching and I didn't have an ally tig. So I flicked a few drawings to a company to get a bit of a head start. I have to cut the green off the other end so it won't be that long. I will put some pics of the build process up when I buy my new AC tig on Thursday, running full size cane pots so will see how it goes. Oh and one of Hezzys for something different

Capstan motor has arrived!!! Time to hop on lathe and make a capstan drum. Well just had the tipper dropped off works a treat. Didn't buy ally welder in the end. Will stick to stainless I think!

Yup
Those 3kw of trannys should get the crays nicely par boiled by the time they get to the top too. Winning.
