More mods to the 22.5 WSM
 
Hello everyone! Just thought I would share a couple of new mods that I've done on the WSM.

After adding the tables I found that is was pretty clumsy towards the back part of the tables between the "feet". http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/...psbgfi9det.jpg

To counter this I needed to add support between the feet to allow for less "tip space" so I came up with this design. http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/...psfnv8g25x.jpg

I drilled holes and mounted it to the "legs" with the caster bolts. http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/...psl454vglj.jpghttp://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/...psyejgrck3.jpg
This significantly eliminated the "tip hazard" due to the tables. http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9vk8ggvi.jpg http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/...pss5ddfggb.jpg
And for the final touch I decided that the standard door latch, or the Cajun Bandit compression latch wouldn't do this beauty any justice. So I asked a buddy of mine to make me a little "something special" to top it all off and here is what he came up with. http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9qz2kghi.jpg
CNC machines are totally awesome!! http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/...ps58yfrals.jpg
Soooo, here she is! All complete! (I think)http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/...pslztbr7xo.jpg
Can't wait to put it to use and give her the real test.

The tables have rods that insert into the holes of the handles.
