Big Sale Has Started - UPDATED 07-31-25 (01 Apr 2025)
As some of you know my dad passed away 2 months ago today, on May 31, 2025. I posted it in the Members Only section when it happened. Thanks to all of you who have offered kind words on the forum, with phone calls, and visits in person during this time.
The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. I don't have the manpower, or the desire to do a big event like originally planned, I just need to sell a lot of parts that are taking up too much space here. I have been told and believe we are overloaded with Wheel Horse parts like no one has ever seen. Peeps have already been coming in from different parts of the country and buying a lot of stuff due to seeing the sale page, and seeing we are the only Wheel Horse only business in the USA that does things on the scale we do. The sale will continue for awhile until I free up some more space but you may not want to wait too long as things are being sold every day and there are limits to how many of certain parts will be sold.
As it says on the page it is still under construction and the page isn't finished yet. I've had a ton of calls for parts and the Big Sale Page may help answer some questions about what is here before peeps call. I hope that page is also clear that we DO NOT SHIP anything... This is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

All that's in it now are some 5 foot and some shorter supports, saw horses, or whatever we can use them for tubing pieces We haven't made any seats or accessories to slide in the holders yet but I'm sure we will as time or need allows. I'll update this topic as we add more things to it.

Someone had heated on it and really messed the 1/4" up. It will be good to get the 1/2" piece on the floor out of my way and where it belongs. Too many projects lol.

I really want more storage + organization close by instead of scattered all over the shop. Then I can round up everything to do with the work done on that table from all over the shop, and be able to keep the table clear at most all times. I got to it today and for starters it's getting Fastenal drawers on the end I use the most. It had a divided tray on that end prob for welding rods. It was a real paint to get out but it's out.
I hope to get that part mostly done tomorrow. I think I can modify the parts from the Fastenal standard fixtures and squeeze about 15 drawers on that end. It's getting a few other mods but I haven't figured them all out yet. I need to make sure to maximize the storage on it this time and be done with it since I made the time, and can get to it...

After that everything got blasted and painted last night so it could get wrapped up today. Looks like I'm running a day behind. It's all done and will post the pics of that progress tomorrow.

Next step was to cut down a horizontal beam and weld it to the bench to be a drawer hook for the top bins. The bins were all moved upward from the original design so this would work out. There was no way to mount one in the shortened side angle with the slots, there was too much stuff in the way. Not the biggest deal, I like doing custom stuff and figuring out this type of stuff anyway. Nothing better than a good challenge.
Next up was welding a piece of 1 1/2" x 2" 1/4" thick angle iron across the right side to support a shelf. I have about 300 feet of it from an old feeder we took down at the farm years ago and thought it would come in handy one day. Nice thing is it already has holes in it to mount shelves to, easy peasy lol.

After that I got sidetracked doing some cleaning, arranging, and putting stuff in the bins. Metalworking stuff that was all over the shop is being moved to the welding bench bins and new spots are opening up for other things. There was a roll around with a door that had the 6 red + yellow bins in it stuffed with metal working supplies, it's now empty and it all fit in 3 Fastenal bins. It's more organized, easy to find, see when I need to reorder things, and all in the metalworking spot. All of the hacksaw stuff was on the rear workbenches. Sometimes a project uses a dozen clamps but no use keeping all of them out getting in the way so some are going in a bin. I also found out after putting some of them away that one is missing and around here somewhere it doesn't belong...
There will still be plenty of space and some empty bins when this is done. It's nice to have everything organized, put in bins out of sight, and near the right workspace so I can find it. Now I can do the happy dance lol.

I spent my first $30.00 on these projects for a long 16 outlet strip for the front of the bench. It came in from Amazon today. It works good with the extra cord reel I already had that was just put up on the wall for it.
