Well I rolled the frame work and they came out pretty good. Just making sure they are even in lenght and height. They are just sitting on frame work now. I will use two on each tub.

Today I finished rolling the last of the tubes. Thought I had enough sheet metal but not quite. So I guess I will have to wait till next weekend. I think when I get sometime I will make some changes on this tubing roller.

I spot welded the sheet metal on the tubes. Grounded the welds down and will start the other tub in the morning. Build mounting brackets for each end and I might be done with the tubs. Then start the floor.

Yea old school. No shrinkage and no heat probs. Turn welder down and then grind them down. Would be nice to have a tig and know how to use it. But since this is a curved pc Shrinkage and heat is less of a prob. Thanks john

Thanks, I will have some wood but not the whole floor. Still not sure on just what I will use at this time. But I will incorporate some wood to keep that 60's look.
