My First Time Fabricating

[RustBuket]

Well, not having a tubing bender, chop saw, or a reciprocating saw definately limited my design but I think it turned out alright. Let me know what you think!

The Pics

My tools of choice were:

-angle grinder w/ cutting disks/flap disks/grinding wheel
-drill
-BFH
-Flux core welder

Thanks man! Any other comments....suggestions...questions?

 

[84gmcjimmy]

what is it made out of?

 

[RustBuket]

2 3/8" x 1/4" Tubing that I got for cheap. Its pretty exciting to cut it with a hacksaw... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Exhilerating! ...actually now I know why they charge so much for custom bumpers. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

 

[84gmcjimmy]

you cut it all with a hacksaw? ouch that would suuuuck! /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif

Yeah I cut all the tubing with a hacksaw cause I kept going crooked with my cutting disks. The only part I used the grinder for was making the brackets, trimming the frame, and taking the rust off.

oh yeah I guess that would happen... I can never cut most of the time...
Looks good once again! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
