Since it appears that this is a simple project, I am considering this for next time. I am fairly handy but not a trained welder so I have a few questions.
Where do I get the 3/8" stock? What specs do I need for the steel and how much will it cost?
It looks like there is a lot of bending involved. What do I need for that? Heat sources? Vise? HD pliers? Hammers?
I have no idea about welding but I guess I can find a friend with the gear.
Design and fitting in very tight spaces seems to be a big issue. I guess the solution would be to make a prototype from 3/8 plywood?
With all that is involved, it would seem that this would be about a 40 hour project. Does that sound about right?
