On his last Christmas break from school, Alvin Homier, 15, didn’t play a lot of video games. Instead, in one week of working full days, he built a rolling steel storage rack for his dad’s farm and commercial shop.
Homier used mainly scrap metal for materials: two old harrows, scrap rasp bars, “and other odds and ends,” he says.
His dad, Roger, did have a local machine shop laser cut adapter plates in order to use salvaged truck wheels they already owned. These were adapted to the stock six-bolt hubs of the running gear. The undercarriage for the trailer is the running gear from an old grain wagon. Truck wheels carry the extra weight.
“The only help I got from Dad was with the wheel plates, and once in a while, he’d hold a piece so I could tack-weld,” he says.
Homier used ⅛-inch 6011 welding rods for the project.
Chains welded on loop over to secure stored items for transport.
The rack easily accommodates 20-foot lengths of steel, which saves on cut charges.
“We don’t take it on the road; it just stays on the farm,” says Homier. They use a forklift to load and unload the trailer, he says.

Application of the Austempering process to steel provides the user with a tough, high-strength component that resists embrittlement. Products Details This dimensionally repeatable process is typically cost competitive with conventional quench and temper processes. Austempering is particularly appropriate fo
