Re: Used Parts Build

Attempt two!

Bent and welded


Where it will end up


Learned a lot (or more accurately-learned that I don't know a lot) with this little mount I made. Most importantly I am no where near as strong as I thought I was...The bracket is made out of .100 stainless. Even with the notches cut I ended up using a cut off wheel to thin out the areas that weren't notched. I didn't account for bend radius or the distortion in the areas where the bend would occur. it still came out significantly better than if I was to try to make it by hand but there is definitely a learning curve to this stuff as well. I think when I get more space I am going to invest in a finger brake.
