Cut down ladder
Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 10:47 am
I was trying to find a ladder for my lowroof deli and didn't have
much luck. Came across a ladder for a highroof though for a good
price. A little dealing since I was going to have to do some work
to make it do the job for me.
Cut it down, found some 3/4 steel pipe, ripped the pipe down the middle
so it would flex a bit to insert inside the piping of the ladder. Joined them
and drilled / rivets.. presto. I was surprised how hard the material was
for both the ladder and the steel pipe I bought. The drill bits aren't
as sharp now.
It's not a perfect fit but close and will work.
You can also see where I stuck my MitsuMaple sticker.
