Since it looks like the original thread I posted got lost in the DB crash from a while ago I figured I'd reupload the plans.
Here's a GIF of the plans for the shrinker stretcher stand, You'll have to print it out since the detail won't show in Internet Explorer.
Inorder to better show the detail I omitted the other side since it's an exact duplicate.
Tubing thickness isn't that critical, this is just what I had in the scrap pile. If I was going to change one thing it would be to make item 6 a 2"x1" tube instead of the 1"x1" tube.
Parts List:
Item 1 - consists of 2 pieces of 2"x2"x24" square tube, 0.100" wall
Item 2 - consists of 1 piece of 2"x2"x20" square tube, 0.100" wall
Item 3 - consists of 2 pieces of 3"x1"x9" rectangular tube, 0.100" wall
Item 4 - consists of 1 piece of 2"x2"x37" square tube, 0.100" wall
Item 5 - consists of 2 pieces of 3"x1"x5" rectangular tube, 0.100" wall
Item 6 - consists of 2 pieces of 1"x1"x24" square tube, 16 gauge
Item 7 - consists of 2 pieces of 1.5"x1.5"x2" angle iron, thickness really unimportant
Item 8 - consists of 4 pieces of 3/8" turnbuckle, (cut from two complete turnbuckles), with the threaded end drilled out and tapped for 7/16"
Item 9 - consists of 2 pieces of 7/16"x32.5" threaded rod, check your length before cutting!
Item 10 - consists of 2 pieces of 5/8"x4" drill rod, grind the drilled end for clearance with Item 8, aprox 1.5"
Item 11 - consists of 2 pieces of 8" springs, (note at rest they are being stretched to 10")
All mounting bolts for the shrinker/stretcher units are 3/8" as are the pivots for the foot pedal.
The linkage was drilled for 5/16" bolts.
The stand height tube was an arbitrary 37", it was the longest piece of scrap I had. :)
