I like to double up on the lower bar, for more strength

Hmm, had to zoom way in but that's an interesting design on the braces meeting the wings with tube stacked on tube instead of notching. Not sure if I like it or not in this situation, jury is still out. I did something similar in a rear bumper though
There is a lower tube going from center chunk to the wing too, since I like to bash that corner some times
Playing around with the dies
That looks sweet. Nice work. 
SEXY
Dang dude I need to get dimple dies. Nice work
Functional dimples, they’re actually drain holes
Beer holders?Functional dimples, they’re actually drain holes
Fold down full course dinner dish holders, disguised as a bumper
Whose dies did you buy? I must've missed you acquiring a set.
Yep, multi function
Holds my camping dishes so I can clean my truck and dishes all at once.
Bought them from Pacific Custom Unlimited in Southern CA.
Wow, that's a great price. I recently bought a Swag finger press brake kit and arbor plates and was looking at their dimple die sets. They want over $500 which is too rich for my blood. I'd seriously consider that set you bought though

I thought so too after looking at JMR, TMR, swag etc. Free shipping from amazon too. I want that finger press, it’s on the shortlist.
After doing a more thorough comparison to the Swag dies i do see some advantages. 1) they are thicker i.e. heavier duty design 2) they have a through hole design for mobile operation using a hydraulic knockout pump or bolt 3) they have lifetime warranty.
Are those advantages worth $200 more, not sure, but it prices them out of most people's budget . . .

I won’t use these enough to justify the $250+ more.
Yeah, i hear ya. I think its one of those things that once you have you'll be inclined to use the heck out of them though. Just look what happened to Adam

I agree...
Most tools I own are not production tools as it’s not a source of income for me.
And no progress on the trucks, had my daughters 11 birthday party and I lowered my 6 speed tire shredder.
