In this review, we bring to your attention the idea of how to make a Christmas tree stand out of the usual shock absorber strut and car disk.
Actually, there is nothing complicated here. To implement this idea, you will only need an old shock absorber strut and a car wheel.
And first of all, it is necessary to cut the shock absorber strut into two parts - only one of them will be required to make the stand.
The main stages of work
After the shock absorber strut has been cut, it is necessary to treat the cut edges with a flap grinding disc so that there are no burrs. To do this, fix the rack in a vise, and then grind the edge with a grinder.
At the next stage, you will need to brush the car wheel with a brush for metal, burn it with a gas burner and rinse with water.
After the car rim has been cleaned, you can return to the shock absorber strut again. It is necessary to drill three through holes (on one side) at an equal distance from each other. And for this, the master uses a drilling machine, but it is also possible with a drill.
And at the last stage, you need to weld the nuts to the holes. Then the stand is welded to the drive of the car. For details on how to stand for the Christmas tree from the strut of the shock absorber and the disk of the car, see the video on the website.
