Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by David Brown DSLR features in a compact cameraLooking for powerful zoom, high-end optics and creative control in a compact digital camera? Panasonic's Lumix FZ200 may technically qualify as a point-and-shoot camera, but its features and performance rival some DSLRs. The FZ200's 14-element Leica lens delivers a whopping 24X optical zoom for extreme close-up shots, no telephoto attachment required. And when zooming in, the lens preserves its f/2.8 aperture value, so telephoto shots in low light turn out bright and detailed. For shots where your subject is literally within reach, the FZ200 can capture wide-angle and macro shots with exquisite detail. Even SLR users may find themselves reaching for this versatile camera for quick, easy shooting.Speed and convenience so you're ready for every shotWhen trying to capture the perfect shot, you don't want a camera that struggles to keep up. The FZ200's Light Speed AF ensures your autofocus won't slow you down when trying to capture those fleeting moments before they disappear. Or if you're photographing action, fire off a burst of up to 12 shots at the blazing speed of 12 frames-per-second. Best of all, you won't have to rummage through your camera bag for the right lens — one camera and one lens for every shot.Auto and manual shooting modesThe Lumix FZ200 features a powerful 24X zoom and a fixed F/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range.With a wide range of auto and manual options, the FZ200 is as simple or customizable as you want it to be. Scene modes, autofocus tracking, auto ISO and white balance presets put the camera in charge of capturing the right picture for your shooting environment and subject matter. For more experienced photographers, manual mode lets you control the settings so you can capture the shot as you envision it. Optical image stabilization ensures that no matter your shooting mode, your photos don't suffer the effects of shaky hands.Full-HD video and HDMI outRemember the days of bulky camcorders and grainy video? You won't be plagued by either thanks to the FZ200's 1080p video recording. Capture crystal-clear HD video from any angle using the swiveling LCD display. Anxious to review your footage on a bigger screen? Just connect a mini-HDMI cable to the camera, plug it into your TV's HDMI input, and you can instantly enjoy your videos without fussing with editing software or DVD burners.

My first digital camera was a Panasonic DMC FZ 7. I upgraded to a FZ 28 three years ago. After reading the reviews on the FZ 200, I upgraded again. So far, I am very impressed with the camera and happy with my purchase. Figuring out the settings takes time...Panasonic gives a ton of bells and whistles! The buttons are situated in different places than the FZ 7 & 28, but half the fun is figuring out what it can do for me. I do this for my own enjoyment and admit to being a novice, but I feel that an advanced or professional will love the Panasonic DMC FZ200!! Pros: It feels good in the hand. I mute all sounds and head into the woods for wildlife photos and because of neck and shoulder problems, I appreciate the lighter weight. After I use it for awhile, I am positive that I will have more "Pros" for this camera! Cons: None so far. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Written By dgb, Goshen, IN on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this camera after a lot of research. Nice zoom, minimal shutter lag and good battery life. I did not want to get a SLR for now and this is once of the best zoom point and shoot camera/ 4 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Clearly the best super zoom camera today Written By DaleM, Lancaster, PA on Thursday, September 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had been struggling to choose between a Canon SX-40 HS and a Panasonic Lumix FZ150. From consumer reviews each had pros and cons. I insisted on super fast auto focus and the Canon was criticized for its slow AF. I also wanted the shortest delay from pressing the shutter and ability to shoot in burst mode with full AF. The Panasonic FZ150 was close but still had enough weak review points. I read about the pre-announced Panasonic Lumix FZ200 and I am so glad I waited. This camera has great autofocus and very fast operation. Shooting 5 frames per second with AF sure helps when photographing race cars close up. You will be seriously impressed. Then there is the constant F2.8 aperture 25-600mm Leica lens which was an unexpected but major bonus. Combined with very effective optical image stabilization, this camera is well beyond the competition. The lens practicaly defies physics and alone justifies the price. Handling, buttons and menus can be troublesome and complicated on advanced cameras but this FZ200 shows great thought. For me it is the friendliest by far on these features. In every way this is a quality product. Pros: 25-600 mm zoom with constant F2.8 aperture and made by Leica. The best autofocus by far. Super fast operation whether single or burst mode. Full HD video. Quiet zoom when doing video. Intelligent auto mode incorporates many features that otherwise would require manual menu selections Available from Crutchfiled where I've had great tech support. Too many great features to list. Go here and see for yourself: http://www.panasonic.net/avc/lumix/compact/fz200/index.html Cons: Cannot switch to manual focus while recording video. Problem tracking radio-control planes when it sometimes focused on the clouds. 41 out of 43 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Its 4.5-108mm focal length is equivalent to 25mm to 600mm in 35mm film photography (28-672mm for video recording). The FZ200 includes a lens hood to minimize lens flare and ghosting when shooting in bright sunlight. The focusing range is as follows: Normal: 6.6' to infinity AF Macro/Manual Focus: 0.033' to infinity (wide), 3.3' to infinity (tele) Extended Optical/Digital Zoom: The 25-600mm focal length of the lens gives it an optical zoom of 24x. The camera's extended optical zoom can increase the zoom up to 46.9x, depending upon the picture size. In addition, the digital zoom extends the focal length by another 4x. Intelligent Zoom (i.Zoom): The camera's Intelligent Zoom uses super resolution technology to extend the optical zoom ratio by approximately 2x while maintaining the original image quality. Recording Media: The DMC-FZ200 records images onto its internal memory (approximately 70 MB), or onto SD (8 MB to 2 GB), SDHC (4 GB to 32 GB), and SDXC (48 GB to 64 GB) Memory Cards. Pictures may be copied between cards and the built-in memory if desired. SD cards with a minimum Class 4 speed class are recommended for recording motion pictures. Image Sensor: For optimal image quality, the camera uses a 1/2.3" MOS image sensor with approximately 12.8-million total pixels and 12.1-million effective pixels. Image Recording Format: The camera records still images in JPEG in 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 and 1:1 aspect ratios. Uncompressed RAW images can be recorded for later processing and editing with a PC. You can also simultaneously record a Fine or Standard JPEG along with a RAW image. The camera can also record 60i and 60p HD movies in AVCHD, as well as HD and SD movies in MP4. You can choose from the following resolutions for still images and movies: Still Images: 4:3 3:2 16:9 1:1 12M: 4000 x 3000 10.5M: 4000 x 2672 9M: 4000 x 2248 9M: 2992 x 2992 8M: 3264 x 2448 7M: 3264 x 2176 6M: 3264 x 1840 6M: 2448 x 2448 5M: 2560 x 1920 4.5M: 2560 x 1712 3.5M: 2560 x 1440 3.5M: 1920 x 1920 3M: 2048 x 1536 2.5M: 2048 x 1360 2M: 1920 x 1080 2M: 1536 x 1536 2M: 1600 x 1200 0.3M: 640 x 424 0.2M: 640 x 360 0.2M: 480 x 480 0.3M: 640 x 480 --- --- --- Movies: AVCHD: PSH: 1920 x 1080; Bit Rate 28 Mbps; 60p (sensor output is 60 fps) FSH: 1920 x 1080; Bit Rate 17 Mbps; 60i (sensor output is 60 fps) SH: 1280 x 720; Bit Rate 17 Mbps; 60p (sensor output is 60 fps) MP4: FHD: 1920 x 1080; Bit Rate 20 Mbps; 30 fps HD: 1280 x 720; Bit Rate 10 Mbps; 30 fps VGA: 640 x 480; Bit Rate 4 Mbps; 30 fps High Speed Motion Picture: The FZ200 is capable of recording very fast motions that cannot be tracked by the naked eye at a rate of up to 240 frames per second. The video is recorded in MP4, and can only be saved onto an SD/SDHC/SDXC card. You can choose between VGA at 240 fps or HD at 120 fps. Optical Image Stabilizer: The Optical Image Stabilizer helps solve the problem of unintentional hand movement that can result in blurry images, particularly with telephoto shots. The Power O.I.S. mode is used for shooting movies. Battery: The FZ200 is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery (DMW-BLC12PP). A fully charged battery gives you approximately 270 minutes of recording time, or about 540 images. When recording AVCHD motion pictures, the battery provides approximately 160 minutes of continuous recording or 80 minutes actual recording time. Playback time using the LCD monitor is approximately 440 minutes. The battery takes approximately 140 minutes to fully charge with the supplied DE-A79B battery charger. Optional AC Adapter/DC Coupler: If you wish to operate the camera using ordinary household current, you will need the optional DMW-AC8 AC adapter, along with the DMW-DCC8 DC coupler. The AC adapter cannot be used alone, as the DC Coupler provides a plug-in jack for the AC adapter. This is helpful if you have the camera connected to your computer or printer for a long time, or playing back photos in a slide show. LCD Monitor: The DMC-FZ200 has a 3" TFT color LCD monitor featuring approximately 461,000 dots and a 3:2 aspect ratio. It has approximately 100% field of view. Viewfinder: In addition to the LCD monitor, the camera has a 0.21" color LCD viewfinder with approximately 1,312,000 dots and a 100% field of view. You can adjust the viewfinder's diopter to your own personal eyesight in case it is not in focus. Flash: The FZ200 has a built-in flash with a range of 0.98' to 44' (Wide) and 3.3' to 44' (Tele) in Auto ISO mode. The range varies with other ISO settings. Available flash modes include: Auto, Auto/Red-eye, Forced Flash, Slow Sync, Slow Sync/Red-eye, or Flash Off. Using External Flash: In addition to the built-in flash, the FZ200 allows you to attach an external flash unit, such as the DMW-FL220, DMW-FL360, and DMW-FL500. Shooting Modes: Using the top-mounted Mode Dial and the menu, the FZ200 allows you to choose from the following shooting modes: Intelligent Auto Mode: Optimum settings are made automatically. The camera identifies the scene and activates one of the following functions automatically: Scene Detection, Backlight Compensation, Intelligent ISO sensitivity control, Auto White Balance, Face Detection, AFS, Quick AF, i.Dynamic, i.Resolution, i.Zoom, Stabilizer, AF Assist Lamp, Red-eye removal, Continuous AF, and Zoom mic.

Self Timer: The self timer is useful when you want to include yourself in the picture when recording still images. The delay time for single shots can be set to 10 seconds or 2 seconds. You can also use the self timer in Burst mode to take 3 pictures after the delay. Exposure Compensation: If you are shooting against a bright background or strong backlight, you may need to correct the exposure so that the subject doesn't come out too dark. You can set the adjustments from -3 to +3 in 1/3-step increments. Auto Bracket: In the Auto Bracket mode, 3 pictures are taken with different exposures, allowing you to select the picture with the desired exposure. You can set the exposure compensation from -1 EV to +1 EV in 1/3-step increments. Burst Modes: In Burst Mode, pictures can be taken continuously while the shutter button is pressed. You can take up to 10 full resolution photos at up to 3 frames per second. Up to 100 total photos can be taken at slower frame rates (2-5 fps).

You can set the duration between images at 1 sec, 2 sec, 3 sec, or 5 sec. You can also set on or off the repeat mode, music, and audio. Playback Zoom: You can view the picture at the original size, or enlarge the picture to 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x. Using the arrow buttons, you can move the position of the zoomed picture in the monitor. Resizing Pictures: This function is useful if you want to reduce the file size of the picture in cases when it needs to be attached to an e-mail or uploaded to a website. Once an image is resized, you can choose to keep the original image. Cropping Pictures: This function lets you trim unnecessary parts of the recorded picture. Motion pictures and pictures with text stamps cannot be trimmed. Auto Power Off: The camera is automatically turned off if it has not been used for a predetermined amount of time. The amount of time can be set to 2 minutes, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes. Optional Remote Shutter: The optional DMW-RSL1 Remote Shutter allows you to control the camera from a short distance.

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs So much to like Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 10/30/2012 10:52:00 AM The DMC-FZ200 is one of those cameras that is a pleasure just to hold. It feels substantial, and it's big enough to handle like a vintage 35mm camera. The swing-out display screen has a clean, clear image, and it's reversable, so you can take self-portraits (or at least include yourself in the shot and retain some control over the image). I also like the viewfinder, which activates when the display is closed. Using that really seemed like I was taking photos old-school! While the FZ200 offered at least the level of control a 35mm camera did, there's one clear advantage I could preview the images before shooting. And with the number of options available, I could do a lot of editing and processing before I took the shot. This is one camera that's great for someone just getting serious about photography. You can put it on automatic and get some wonderful photos, but chances are you'll be using manual mode and fearlessly changing setting in no time. What are the Labs?

The dogs rescued from a Bronx dog fighter's basement last year are finally getting justice. Raul Sanchez, who pleaded guilty to dog fighting a few weeks ago, is now heading to prison.
Last week a judge sentenced Sanchez to one to three years for animal fighting, one year for animal cruelty and one year for criminal possession of a weapon. (Sanchez will serve these sentences concurrently.)
He's also been slapped with a ban on keeping animals for the duration of his parole. Sanchez waived his right to appeal.
We hope Sanchez's sentence serves as a reminder to dog fighters that their crimes against innocent animals carry serious consequences.

Region 1: EPA New England
Selecting the Right Site: Location, Location, Location
One of the first tasks in planning any event regardless of size is to select the destination and then a suitable facility or venue. You need to consider travel logistics.
- How easy will it be to get there by plane, train, public transit, etc?
- Is there mass transit or shuttle service nearby so that attendees will readily use it to get to the event and to sightsee, thereby reducing the need to travel individually by car?
The goal should be to reduce the amount of fuel that would be used, and pollution that would be generated, if each individual used a single occupancy vehicle to get to their destinations.
In terms of the event facilities and hotel accommodations, planners should look for green housekeeping policies.
- Do they recycle? And what do they recycle?
- Have they installed energy efficient lighting? Are they Energy Star certified?
- Do they use water conserving devices and environmentally preferable products?
- Do they purchase locally produced food or use suppliers that use local produce?
- What about food wastes, do they work with food donation programs and compost?
There are several on-line tools available to help you make environmentally responsible choices for your event. As a first step, visit EPA's Green Meetings Web site. In addition, EPA recently supported the Oceans Blue Foundation with the development of a Green Meetings Tool that will help you incorporate green principles into every aspect of planning for your event. The Green Meeting Industry Council is likewise working collaboratively to provide information and tools to facilitate the greening of meetings and events.
Additional sources of information include:
- the Convention Industry Council, which provides tips and recommendations in its Green Meetings Report (PDF) (14 pp, 339 K, about PDF) ;
- the National Recycling Coalition's Green Meetings Policy, (22 pp, 648K, about PDF) which presents best practices that were developed and adopted by the National Recycling Coalition in 2001 for its Annual Congress and Exposition;
- the national Green Hotel Initiative run by CERES, which has developed a best practice survey of environmental criteria to assist in making hotel selections;
- Green Seal, which provides a list of certified green hotels;
- the Northeast Recycling Council, which provides information on recycling and purchasing environmentally preferable products and services; and
- the case study, Greening the 2004 Democratic & Republican National Conventions.

Nearly 1 million U.S. residents spend time volunteering abroad each year, including nearly 200,000 first- and second-generation immigrants. As skilled migration and the number of U.S. youth with ancestors in the developing world grow, this report shows the potential for diaspora service volunteers to assist with development in a number of countries.
Breakfast briefing with T. Alexander Aleinikoff, Demetrios G. Papademetriou, and Kathleen Newland.
This volume, by a former senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission, argues that the U.S. approach to immigration and border security is off-kilter and not keeping pace with the scope and complexity of people's movement around the world, nor with expectations regarding freedom of movement.
This report, commissioned by the BBC World Service, seeks to explore the myriad impacts of the global financial crisis that began in September 2008 on migration flows, immigration policies, remittances, and on migrants themselves. Select countries and regions are examined in detail to highlight overarching trends and regional differences.
MPI's symposium on citizenship examined immigrant civic and political participation, the notion of local voting rights for noncitizens, the concept and practice of dual citizenship, and the role of citizenship in immigrant integration.
This report traces the evolution of the link between international study and skilled migration, outlines policy methods that OECD countries are using to recruit and retain international students, identifies policy challenges through a close examination of existing policies and trends, and predicts how the economic recession will affect future international student flows.
This report explores the need for nations to adjust their thinking and policy toward attracting the coveted elite class of highly skilled global talent as emerging and middle-income countries increasingly attempt to woo back their nationals and engage their diaspora to help move their economy forward.
This report examines the advantages and disadvantages of two fundamentally different approaches to economic migrant selection—demand driven and employer led systems and human-capital-accumulation focused and government led systems, best illustrated by "points systems," which apportion numerical values to desirable human-capital characteristics.

Chev Chelios is about to begin his morning with an unexpected wake-up call. Groggy, practically unable to move and with a heart that's barely beating, he hears the voice of thug Ricky Verona, who reveals Chev has been poisoned in his sleep and only has an hour to live. As it turns out, Chev is a hit man who freelances for a major West Coast syndicate. A run of the mill job the night before instead went awry: he let his target slip away in an effort to quit professional killing and start a new life with his girlfriend Eve. Now, Chev must keep moving to stay alive: the only way to prolong the poison from stopping his heart is to keep his adrenaline flowing. As the clock ticks, Chelios cuts a swath through the streets of Los Angeles, wreaking havoc on those who dare stand in his way. He must rescue Eve from danger, stay two steps ahead of his nemeses and search for an antidote to save his own life.

PHOTOS: Life at Aconcagua's Confluencia, a Sustainable Geodesic Base Camp in the Argentine Andes
A four-hour bus journey west of Mendoza will leave you at the stone-entrance of the Aconcagua National Park. After a four-hour trekking through small paths up the mountain along Rio Horcones, you will eventually reach the Confluencia base. The first thing to do is to check-in — so they know at the entrance that you had made it — and then visit the doctor for a quick health check.
The Park Ranger's shelter stays standing through the whole year, and is built from T-Plak, a long lasting, weatherproof material made from recycled Tetra Pak cartons. It has a corrugated iron roof with solar panels resting on it. The site has around five companies that offer different services like guided trekking tours, fantastic meals, renting of equipment, tents or a bunk bed in one of the geodesic domes. I stayed and fully recommend Inka, which are linked to ethical mountaineering NGOs Leave No Trace and UIAA. The domes can take different shapes and are brought up every year. They are built on site and wrapped in plastic sheeting, which is not the most sustainable material to produce, but its extremely durable, weather-proof and designed for reuse.

I have a call to repair a leak in the weld around one of the pipes/ nozzles on a large industrial transformer. I have an asme R stamp as well as AWS certs and have made countless welds like this before. Prob is the procedure calls for oil to stay in the transformer at a min of 4 inches above the leak point. This we have not dealt with before. Plan is to pean the leak shut, clean it and weld it . I have been pondering using a tIg torch to close the leak completely prior to re welding the area with 7014(7014 is what the procedure calls for) I am hoping someone has some experience with this that might have some 2 cents to help us out. Thanks in advance!!

Please don't tell me it's a Cooper Power transformer. I weld for them haha. If you can get a vacuum hooked up to it to keep a flow going through it then it shouldn't blow through. I know we are repairing ours with TIG when they have a leak with oil inside but still in the shop. I'm not sure how they are fixed in the field though.
transformer leak repair
No its not under power and is not that make either. I can not pull a vacuum it is all piped and hooked up including full of oil. Its just not online. It is good to know that you have done that fix with oil in the system. Was there oil above the leak point? I am leaning towards the TIG weld first so its good to know thats a proven procedure. Thanks!!!

Well i have been out of the welding business for a few years now just doing my own repairs and now im looking to buy a used gooseneck trailer for $2500 and rebuild the way i want it. I already know i need 2 new axels and 4 tires and wheels along with new wiring and lights plus i wanna add a 4ft beaver tail with fold up ramps. Then add new paint and decking.

I think at that point I would just get one the way you want it, I looked into putting Torsion bars on a trailer for a guy who does Granite countertops and it was cheaper to order a new one the way he wanted it.
To get the parts and supplies i will have a total investment of around $7,000 and to get a new one the way i want it will run me about $12,000. If i was gonna hire someone to do all the work for me it would cost about the same

Read past issues of the magazine GRAMMY Award-winning Violinist James Ehnes and Pianist Andrew Russo Reunite for Le Moyne College PerformanceSYRACUSE, N.Y. (For Immediate Release) … On Tuesday, Oct. 2, at 7:30 p.m., GRAMMY Award-winning violinist James Ehnes will reunite with his former Juilliard School roommate, Syracuse-based pianist Andrew Russo, for an intimate recital in the Panasci Family Chapel on the campus of Le Moyne College. One of the world's most sought-after performers, Ehnes's Syracuse engagement comes on the heels of a solo performance with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and will be quickly followed by an appearance with the London Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Valery Gergiev, in New York's Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center. "I'm looking forward to reuniting with Andy for a fantastic recital in Syracuse," says Ehnes. The recital will feature Bach's Partita in D minor for solo violin, Prokofiev's Sonata No. 2 in D major, and Paul Schoenfield's Four Souvenirs, which Ehnes also recorded with Russo for Black Box Records in 2007. Ehnes boasts a discography of more than 25 recordings, including his 2008 GRAMMY Award-winning recording of the violin concertos of Korngold, Walton and Barber with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. Though pianist Andrew Russo's career his evolved over time (he currently owns an investment advisory firm in Syracuse), Ehnes says that he continues to impress. "I'm constantly amazed by Andy's artistry," said Ehnes. "The fact that his piano playing continues to be flawless, while he's working extremely hard in his new career, is nothing short of incredible." Don't miss the former college roommates as they perform in Syracuse, part of the Le Moyne College Music Program's annual season of guest artists. Tickets are $20 for the general public, $15 for seniors, and $5 for students and Le Moyne faculty/staff. Visit www.lemoyne.edu/vpa or call (315) 445-4523.

Step 1: Obtain parts and tools
1/2" conduit bender
hack saw
tape measure
punch (or nail)
1/8" bit and 3/8"
half round file
oxy-acetylene torch or arc welder
plentiful brass brazing rod
brazing flux. goggles, and gloves
bricks for holding frame
framing square / "L" layout tool
Finding and Buying Parts
You can find a lot of the parts, particularly if you're near a metal dumpster or a building renovation that might be ripping out conduit. Metal shops often have scraps of flat stock that you might be able to take.
Wheels: Go with what you can find. Feel lucky if you have the option of mountain bike wheels over road bike wheels. The dimensions given here are for carts with 26", 27", or 700c wheels. If you use 24" wheels, you can reduce the cart depth by 1", and if you use 20" wheels reduce the dimensions by 3" (spine and ribs dimensions). 700c and 27" wheels work, but ther're less strong, particularly laterally, which is important when you're hauling a load around corners.
Find wheels at bike shops or in the dumpsters out back. I've had good luck asking bike shops for old wheels, and in college metal recycling dumpsters. Make sure you get 2 of the same diameter, with the diameters within 1/2" or so with the tires on. You can get tubes with small punctures behind bike shops.
Another wheel possibility: It's easiest to use 2 front wheels because they will have the same hub spacing. However, you can use a front wheel and a rear wheel if you make one of the wheel wells longer and increase the hub spacing for the rear wheel to 4 3/4", instead of 4". Or measure your wheels exactly. Hardware stores carry the EMT conduit and hardware.
You will save some money if you can find scrap 3/16" by 1" bar, plywood and 3/8" ID tubing. Try metal dumpsters, scrap bins at machine shops and mechanics' garages, etc.
In the store, hardware parts are generally less expensive in the bulk bins than in pre-packaged boxes. I can't find rod end ball joints anywhere accept mail order (I've used McMaster-Carr). The shaft should be 1 1/4" or more, and have threads that are 3/8"-24 or 3/8"-16. (The 24 and 16 refer to threads per inch.) Get a nut to match the threads. The hole through the ball should be 3/8" wide. You can order it from mcmaster.com. It is part 6072K64 for the oil-impregnated bronze race with a chrome plated steel ball and right hand threads. It costs $5.92 without shipping. I think shipping is $3 or $4. You might consider getting a welding respirator ($12) from McMaster-Carr at the same time.
For plywood, ask at a lumber yard if they have scrap wood. Building renovations and construction also generate waste plywood that will work fine.
Using the tools
To use a conduit bender, line up your bend mark with the arrow on the bender. Step on the foot plate, while pushing down and pulling sideways on the handle of the bender. Bend until the bubble level reads level with no force on the handle.
Working with metal in this project is easy, but takes some practice. To cut with a hacksaw, make sure the piece is clamped well and the cut is close to the clamp. Use the full length of the blade, pushing down hard enough to cut but not hard enough to bind the blade. Use steady, even strokes pushing forward. Don't press down hard on the return stroke. Hold both the back and front of the saw.
When using files, the cutting happens on the forward stroke. Pulling back with downward pressure on the file will only dull the file.
To cut with a tube cutter, align the mark with the cutting wheel and tighten the screw just enough to score the metal all the way around the tube. Tighten a little more and continue turning the tool, ensuring that the cut is in the original groove. Continue around the tube. This tool is useful for the conduit, but a hacksaw is more reliable.
To braze with an oxy-acetylene torch, it's a good idea to get a lesson from someone who knows how. Always set the regulator carefully and keep the tanks well secured so they could not fall. Use gloves, #5 shade eye protection, and work on non-combustible surfaces. Keep fire-extinguishing paraphernalia present. Work with good ventilation, especially with galvanized conduit.
To drill into metal, make a starting dent with a punch or nail, and drill a small hole at high speed with a sharp metal bit. To enlarge it, use a lower speed and watch out for the bit catching as it breaks through the material. Always drill into material secured in a vice or by clamps.
General safety: Wear gloves when things are hot, don't wear gloves with spinning tools. Wear safety glasses when there are chips flying (drilling, cutting). Wear long non-synthetic, non-flammable clothes when working with the torch. Wear closed-toe shoes or boots. Don't breathe fumes from cutting, heating, or painting. Have fun and take care of yourself so you can ride your bike and pull your bike cart and tell your friends how great it is to not use a car.
Anyone in NYC available to help me build one of these for an awesome Food Rescue Non Profit?! :) rescuingleftovercuisine.org -- expanding into Brooklyn and want to utilize a bike trailer!
Muriatic acid works. Heres some demos of getting it out of the inside and the outside.
I made this trailer and used 10 inch hand truck wheels so only needed 4- 10' 1/2inch conduit and I welded it all together with a flux core welder
Material availability is more and more of an issue in the US as well. Metal electrical conduit is about the only reasonably priced metal tubing in many areas. The prices in Home Depot for a common galvanized, steel pipe make me feel like I am buying gold. Copper and brass are off the charts and aluminum is as well. We are not even seeing hardwoods in Florida at sane prices. As less people are "makers" now than in years gone by the industry is not supplying components the way they once did.
In many places watch Craig's List under free stuff. Many areas have bamboo in excess and home owners will be thrilled to have you cut down bamboo for free. In Florida I even see the huge timber type of bamboo offered for free. That stuff can be better than five inches in diameter and up to 90 feet tall. In the eastern nations they build large buildings out of structural bamboo. You can also use bamboo covered with fiberglass or epoxy glass for even greater strength and super long life.
Better yet a person can make their own fiberglass tubes easily with either glass and polyester resin or glass and epoxy resin. Cut your shape in polystyrene insulation, which cuts easily. If using resin you must coast the polystyrene with paper as resin will melt the foam. If using epoxy simply apply the glass and work in the epoxy. Any size, shape, weight or strength can be created. If you do use epoxy you want only white paint as summer heat can turn epoxy a bit soft if painted other colors.
PVC can break with no warning at all. Sunlight is one PVC killer. Accumulated stress is another. Common PVC is not structural PVC. You may discover that the price of structural PVC is a bit outrageous. Simply never trust PVC.
A good way to start is by using nut and bolt construction. If the trailer works well and you are satisfied tow it to a shop that has a good welder and pay him a few bucks to weld it together or simply keep an eye on your nuts and bolts as that method can make a long lasting and very repairable trailer that can be superior to welder units simply due to it being so very easy to change a worn or damaged piece.
Stick welded instead of brazed, used threaded tube, lubed and backed off one turn for swivel connection to tie rod end, and 20" tires. Have less than $18.00 invested!
Thanks again!
I ordered a couple 14" wheels from Surplus Center with the intention of making a bike trailer and wanted to pass along the link. They have over 2000 in stock, and they are cheap, durable, and non-pnuematic.
The only issue is that they are hub-less, and would need a well-greased axle (9/16", I believe), though long bolts would probably work just fine. The design of the cart also would need to be modified for the smaller wheels.
Thanks again, I will be making one from your design this week. I weld them, and am very much a beginner welder so the welds are ugly (getting better fast though). Anyone in the Olympia, WA area wanting one of these contact me through here or the link, I'll help you build one, it is fun.
So glad that you have this posted on instructables. I was going to make this cart a while ago and lost track of the instructions. It was the first thing that popped up when I googled EMT Bike Trailer. Thanks!
Here are some photos. It was the hitch that flummoxed me the most.

The Charles County Sheriff's Office suspended Maj. Joseph "Buddy" Gibson's police powers Thursday. The assistant sheriff for administration is under investigation for allegations of domestic violence.
Gibson said he is cooperating 100 percent with agencies and "based on the allegations the judge did the right thing, [Sheriff Rex Coffey (D)] did the right thing without a doubt."
Sheriff's office spokeswoman Diane Richardson confirmed the suspension of Gibson's police powers, but would not give a reason or discuss the complaint. She said that "personnel law prohibits the sheriff's office from releasing detailed information as to why."
Coffey told a reporter in a brief telephone conversation Friday that the suspension was a human resources issue and he couldn't comment further.
Online court records show that as a result of the complaint, a judge ordered Gibson to have no contact with the alleged victim, who is not named. Gibson also is ordered to stay away from the alleged victim's home and to vacate his La Plata residence.
Gibson has a hearing scheduled for today.
Richardson said that the matter is not related to his duties at the sheriff's office.
She explained that when an officer is relieved of his police duties, he is no longer allowed to make arrests or carry a handgun.
