@TwelveSevenTwoWorks5 жыл бұрын
Nice concept. Fabrication is a state of mind. Personally I shy away from mitred corners as there’s less weld area and it increases the distortion when welded. A tip worth considering for future to prevent distortion is racking some diagonal braces across the frame to hold it whilst welding (assuming you didn’t). I’d also like to see some braces in the upright configuration perhaps diagonals. Another tip when centring holes on plates is to use countersunk screws which self set concentric to the holes improving setup alignment. Great effort though pal, love the build. Keep it going! 😎

Hey man just tips for fabbing a basic frame like that. Tac the entire structure before fully welding anything, this minimises warpage and pull. When welding a corner joint. Weld the outside corner first. Then the top and bottom, them inside edge. This is to minamise the frame pulling out of square. Its alot worse with stainless but every material pulls a little bit. And remember measure twice ;)
