I made the majority of this while my welding student was doing his thing Thursday and finished it up yesterday. I couldn't complete it while he was here due to my only being able to plug one welder in at a time. I still need to polish up the near end. And what is it you say? A small dolly for sheet metal work.
I started with a hollow bar 1-1/2" OD with a 1/2" ID. I welded a piece of leaf spring on one end and welded a 5/16 nut sunk into the other end. The piece on the far end is a soft hammer tip that has a 5/16 stud on it. This is a spare for my old Williams soft face hammer. The hammer came with two tips, the one pictured and a softer one as well. With the threaded end on the dolly, I can swap out the tips, or if needed, I can make a lead tip or a steel piece to work with a shape my other dollies don't match.
I still need to polish up the solid end, maybe today on that.
