I wanted a hose hanger near my garage
and driveway so I could use the hose for
washing cars. But I wanted it the hanger
to have a "FWD Dodge" look.
First thing I did was weld an old
5 lug omni front hub onto some
square tubing, spacing it out enough
room to add a wheel. Then welded
that to a longer piece of square tubing
at a 90 degree angle. I then sank the
whole thing into concrete.
I was going to just use a GLH wheel
but realized that the wheel in the stock
shape would not give much room for
hose.
So I cut the face off with a circualr
saw just using an old wood cutting blade.
I then used my belt sander to smooth
the face of the cut area.
I used a piece of aluminum tubing
for the center. It is 6" ID.
I then traced a circle the same diameter
of the wheel onto a piece of flat aluminum
to use for the back side of the hose hanger.
Now that all three pieces were cut
and smoothed, it is time to weld them
together.
