I almost finished building one like the one in your video. When I thought I was done I discovered there is an import small block of wood in the video that wasn’t discussed which I believe addresses the issues I encountered. 1: It helps align the panel cutting grid against the side of the 425. 2: That also gets the weight of the heavy panel close to the side of the 425 to help prevent tipping of the 425. 3: I believe there is an angle cut that keeps the swing arms tilted slightly which will keep the top of the panel from falling away from the panel cutting grid. I used 30” from the top of the grid to where a panel rests in the hook. I thought it would put the pivot point about midway on a 4’x8’ panel. I’ve never used one of these before so I had to learn. I tested with a 2’x4’ panel on one of the arms. When pivoting the panel in the 4’ orientation I learned to push the top of the panel which kept the panel in the hook. When I tried to pivot the panel in the 2’ (less than 30”) orientation there is no such thing as a sky hook to hold up the upper edge of the panel when the swing arms drop down. Ha, Dumb! Tomorrow I’ll add the small blocks of wood. Looks promising, thanks for the video.

I also like to and need to adapt and create for multi use and take down because I only have a TINY workshop. Once this versatile grid is disassembled the two 425s continue to have seemingly infinite uses. How did you cut the deep notches in the 2x8s for the 2x4s? Was it a handsaw and chisel?

a small paint roller handle (without the rolller) on a paint stick works betterthan a boat hook and cheaper. It will pierce a cardboard box if necessary. Also use 1" conduit clamps bolted upside down to your bed rails. Makes a perfect cradle mount. No fussing with paracord

Hi Ziggy! I enjoyed your honest Allto critique videos! I have 3 of these panels, and am adding a 4th because they perform so well!! I want to add an extension wire like you did. My question to you is what gauge is the wire on the 25ft extension wires you added?? Is it the same gauge of the original wires that came with the panel (which I'm not sure what that wire gauge is)?? I've seem different gauges available for extensions (on amazon and elsewhere) with the SAE connectors. Also, are you aware that your affiliate link page says that the product is unavailable (but it is available on other page links directly on the amazon site)?? Thanks in advance for the info!!

Hey RockerBruce, thanks for the feedback. Yes, I used the same gauge wires.
