well, i got bored today after my AP physics exam and decided:
"hey, i have thin pipe, a small manual pipe bender die, and a metal saw and 4" grinder.. why not make some half doors"
so i got to it, and i have to say, im satisfied with the outcome. i am still deciding on:
1 latch design [if any] im not sure if it will be just a simple bungee, or something more complex.
2 canvas color. ill probably go with tan, i think red body and tan canvas would look pretty nice
3 other asthetics [pockets and such]
ill be welding it together on thursday, so ill probably get the canvas tomorrow.
for the hinge ive just taken a tab [about 1" x 1"] and will be welding one side to the door, and one to a pin. [leaving about .25" for pivot room]
and if it doesnt work, the only $ im out is the cost of canvas
