Almost done welding for now, got about 3/4 welded out. My welds ain’t pretty but they hold! Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Smoking a brisket and pork shoulder today, so plenty of garage time to finish welding out main frame! But first gotta clean up the shop! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally back to the project after a long unwanted break. More to come. :2guns:

I typically use wood to do my mockups. Just for spacing, leg room, etc. slow going right now because I’m just collecting all my parts. Nothing worse than having to cut and reweld because of a part size you didn’t account for. Should be able to post more pics this weekend.

Yeah this is free cad software. I only use it so I can, measure angles and cut lengths. Has worked in the past. I was a draftsman years ago. ACAD is way easier to learn than solid works.

Finally got some time to start designing frame. Here is what I came up with so far. Time to start getting metal up and going!

Coming along bud! Keep at it, good luck with the round! I just don’t have the tools to do it!

Very true. I also do my length cuts double stacked. Same cut guaranteed on both parts. especially angles. But hats off to you with the round tube. I’m not there yet. Using rectangle tubing for my frame.

Nice jigs! I do mine the same! Works every time!

Yep! And they are! ---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ---------- Gonna start building my fab table for frame this weekend. Don’t have a fancy metal one with clamp holes, so build mine for one time use.
