Sweet!
Question:
Are you planing to put an air gap between the frame and your Pots, Kettles or Kegs?
Sorry the photo is sideways....
I'm contemplating it but I haven't decided yet.

n2fooz: How about a some more pics of that Infinity? Is that a G37? Wheels/brakes/suspension look aftermarket. Does it have a lot of work into it?
nice stand you got yourself there...envy is not a great look on my but damnit i want it. mine is sort of the same only 1x1x1/8 steel. the burners are the regular bayou classics and i couldnt drive a tank over it.
just out of curiousity...i dont know if it was covered, but i used a mig style welder...actually it was flux core wire instead of using the gas...that looks an awful lot like tig welding...either that or i really do suck at welding.
on a final note, im not sure about wearing out the saw...i havent heard anything like that but since im not a professional i suppose i cannot exactly say one way or the other...what i do know is that i have a craftsman 9'' compound sliding miter saw that is about 20yrs old and has cut all kinds of metal, including all the cutting for my stand...with the help of a 10.00 harbour freight metal blade...and it still works like a champ.
Subscribed...great looking build so far.
I have been looking at builds for several months now, planning my own and taking ideas from a ton of people.
May I request that when it comes time to mount your burners that you include some up close shots. That is one thing that I haven't figured out yet in my own plans. Cheers...wnc
That's a super clean looking mount. I like the jig you made for bending the SS.
Only concern I have is where is the burner exhaust going?
Thanks to Sea1961, I'm going to add Stainless spacers at the top to help exhaust and protect the paint.

For mounting the burners, I used the heat shields. I drilled holes for the supplied burner screws at the bottom of the shield and mounted the burner to the shield. I then drilled and tapped (4) 10-32 holes on the 45º gussets. The burner/heat shield assembly is then mounted to the stand with (4) 10-32 stainless steel cap screws and washers.
Hope this helped.
Can you show/explain this in more detail?
The stand-offs can be cantilevered further in and thus eliminating the large diagonal pieces.

Do you have a sketch up of the whole thing? That is sexy.
Looks real good.
How did you attach the casters?
I actually use a 3D program called Solidworks. I haven't modeled the burners or castors but here is a rendering of the stand:
I am a SolidWorks user as well... CSWP actually... What kind of work do you do on SW? (besides designing your own brewstands) haha...

I thought your name looked familiar. I saw your rendering on this thread and asked what program you were using: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my...0-some-nice-modifications-172927/index32.html
Good to see a fellow SW user.
Seen any use yet?
Looking mighty fine! I like the socket head cap screws placement for holding the Brew pot / kettles from sliding off during a busy brew day! Can't wait to see the finished product...

Sorry it's blurry but I cropped it from the original pic. It should be good enough for you to get the idea:
Hey n2fooz,
My build as progressed to the point where I'm looking to attach casters, and I'm thinking of doing exactly what you did.
Couple questions --
- from the picture, it looks like you cut a steel bar to fit, and welded that in, or did you get a larger steel plate and cut it to fit?
- How thick is that piece?
- Confident that it will hold (obviously, but is there any doubt)?
- Is it easy enough to using the locking mechanisim, being mounted that far inside the stand?
These answers will help immensely. Thanks!
n2fooz said:It was pretty simple. 2in flat bar cut at 45 on each end. Once welded in there is no way they are going to fail.
As far as locking the casters, I have no issues.
