Like most of us here, I've never stopped playing with toys.
Thanks dude!
Yessir. Those thick curvy pieces at the top of the last photo will make up the flange.

And the bar keeps getting set higher! Great updates.
Assembly is going steady, and then the wife comes out with a cracked beer. I’m good with that.

Just some random assembly. It’s going slow, but steady.
Aluminum doesn’t make anything easy, but the helium helps.

Do you sing like Wizard of Oz with that helium?
Stacking dimes... Like it's nothing. Great work!
You can hardly hear me through the respirator.
It’s definitely difficult, but the 1/8 and 3/16 is pretty forgiving compared to the thin stuff. Thanks man.
David
More assembly. The pedestal mount is shaved at 2.5*, it’s all burned into the crossmember, and the frame mounts are ready to get mocked up and the frame drilled.

Capped the ends and fine fit to the frame mounts. Then, the wife comes out with cocktails.
This is as far as I got.

Old Fashioned. She’s got her technique down, but we’ll clink with y’all next time.
Crossmember is done and in and doing work. That was a good project, and I learned a ton.

Very true.
Thanks dude. It’s very satisfying making the stuff in my brain become real.
Appreciate that. I sweat those last few welds just out of “not wanting to mess it up.”
David
I totally get that now.
What are those bolts going into? Don't see them passing through the frame.
Im sure he'll post a pic and reply but on FB he showed some cool looking weld in bungs.
I was just thinking, "wow, that rotisserie sure makes taking pics from all angles easier".
I'm sure that's why you bought it.

All star weld in threaded bosses.
I forget that the Instagram stuff ports over to the book face.
It’s all for the likes.
Here are the weld in bosses. All 3/8-16, which is plenty for four pieces from the ARP catalog.
