steve187 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Today is a cold , cold cloudy day. I am about to snap. I am going to the barn to upgrade my fluid bed. I built the first one after reading about them on here. Thanks guys. Mine works OK but I think I can make it work better. I'll post up some updates with pics I hope later when I get finished. I've also finally got some pics I can pull from photobucket and get em over here in the gallery before too much longer. These aren't top notch jigs as I'm just a beginner so you guys can feel free to critique em when I finally get em posted. Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 This is what the fluid bed looked like before I re modeled it today. The air supply is directed through the small inlets. I moved the bed closer to my reach. I also extended the air supply tubes, I plugged the ends of the tubes and drilled several small holes along the top of the air tubes. I also cut my paint cups down. I made them 2 &1/2 inches tall with the side I am dipping from is cut down a bit more to open it up for me. The cup on the left is before and the one on the right is after. I hope it works better for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Pretty cool idea with the air distribution holes. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Nice job. Ever consider drilling 2 more holes in the pipe and running the end of the tubes through them, and epoxy the holes shut around the tubes? Will hold the tubes in place for you. Looks like your on to something good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
