To make the STH-10 easier to move around, I built a cart to mount it on.

I went out and got some angle iron from the small pieces pile at the metal shop/store. This is the mounting feet that will bolt to the wood.
As can be seen here, I got more metal and make the leg portion of the mounting stand. I am test fitting one of the legs since I got the holes drilled for the intake bolts on all 3 legs.
Here I am test fitting all 3 legs to make sure the intake mounting holes are drilled correctly.
Painting all the metal pieces for the legs and mounting feet.
After sitting out to dry for a day or so, all the legs were put on and bolted to the intake.
This is the wood cart that was built. It is approximately 3 x 3 feet (or slightly bigger) to support the weight of the Federal STH-10.
As you can see, I put the motor/stator onto the cart to test its weight, it holds it just fine.
The way it works is that you have a 1x1 on the side of the 2x4 wood, which acts as a spot to set the 2x4 flat on.
I am testing the wood pieces and mounting legs to ensure they fit with the cart. I am also checking to see if the legs are aligned with the holes for the feet while making sure everything is as centred as possible. be with the feet holes and also making the whole thing as centred as I can.
I drilled holes in the wood pieces after doing some sharpie marks for where the holes need to be drilled and I also marked and drilled holes for the screws at the edge of the 1x1 wood to secure the top pieces of wood, this minimizes cracking when you pre-drill your screw holes. I bolted the feet once I got some bolts, nuts, lock washers, and washers. Since the legs to feet bolts were temporary ones provided to keep the pieces together, I got some stuff again to replace those properly.
Small update as of 12/29/24, the cart needed a 2x6 piece of wood to support the pieces of wood going across. With the siren standing and it's full weight on it, I observed some slight bowing of the wood and so to rectify that issue, I put a 2x6 under all the pieces and will screw into the 2x6 from the side of the cart to secure that support piece.
Here is the siren standing upright instead of on the ground how it was temporarily.
