I did. Bent using steel angle, rolled using the pipe and clamp set up that is pictured above, and cut using mostly a band saw.

Round three of welding, grinding, sanding, and now throw in some polish. Pretty happy with the results on my first aluminum welding project though.

Hmmmmmm.

Did a search and found this............
there's a new worm going around. Beware of bad Goo.gl links (like the one pictured above). It spreads when you click on the these links, so don't click if you see a Goo.gl link in a tweet all by itself. Like an idiot, I clicked one of these links and the URL started changing over and over again. It didn't take long to realize this was a bad link. If you do click one of these accidentally and the URL starts to change rapidly, quickly close your browser window. That seems to have kept me out of trouble.


Now, it could be genuine, but I ain't clicking it to find out.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

I'm with you, not clicking to find out. I just reported the reply, maybe it'll get removed.
