fxfymn Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Quote So far everything I have made has been literally made by hand with a welder, cutting wheels and a nice straight, flat edge on my work bench. Necessity is the mother of invention. Nice work. Make sure you keep a "look what I went through to get this looking so nice" book of pictures to display with the truck. One trick I have used when bending 12 ga. is to kerf it about halfway with a metal cutting skil-saw before bending it. You can weld up the seam after it is bent if you need the strength. Figure out what you want for a shop, double it and then make it 50% bigger and it will still be too small. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!
