a day to weld

so, todays task, finish welding all the brackets, weld the truss, and try not to scare any of my new neighbors. I finally got settled enough to wrk in my garage, although it is still a long way from where I want it...

a couple random photos here, first, a shot of my band saw set up to cut angles on all the tubing... you can see most of one of the stick all jigged together.



a bucket full of scraps... yay...



on the last one here, the 2 others are hanging up on the shelf. I should put here a link to watch me weld the last one together, it is time lapse, so don't worry, you wont spend 30 minutes watching it. VIDEO


here it is all put together, running from my garage out past my car! yeah, total coolness;)


and now it's time to get ready for tomorrow, seeing it all come together is making me excited tho, I can't wait to install it.
