How easy was that to make?

I didn't make it my buddy jared did just a bunch of 2x2 1/4 with a bunch of holes in it and a pneumatic/hydro ram and a die.

You're bending with assist? Nice

How easy was that to make?

They're pretty easy to make Bob. I cut my arms out with my plasma and drilled the large holes with my Bridgeport. Word of wise, mock up the top tabs before welding. I had mine off a little and welded the home first :doh:

 

[RoyalXJ]

I'm gonna have to look into one
