Did one of these a few years back perhaps it's time for another go around?? Show us (please) what you're working on? What's your latest project?

I’ll bite…what will that be, or be a part of?Been putting one of these off for so long because of the cost and well at my age do I really need to be buying more tools, but the other day I finally pulled the trigger and ordered one and well that's the project for the weekend as it will take a few slight mods to make it work with my set up.

Doing a "Ghetto" quick & dirty castor install on my fab table, so that I can use it to get my 1964-1966 Mercury LWB box & tailgate out of my neighbour's garage.....have the end with the stationary castors done, now just have to do the end with the swivel castors....
Since I really don't have a place to really do any fab work, I phoned around to several fabrication shops for a price.click to enlarge
Rear upper back seat cover.
Have to take the rear seat out to install.
Its cardboard, thinking of getting it in 21 gauge steel as the tank is in the trunk just in case of a bad rear ender.
No digital file, just a stiff cardboard rear cover that can be used as a template.Brian, do you have a digital file of the part you need cut, cut and formed?
Yup, got it. Looking around for material.Brian, Sent you a PM
There's two water jet shops that can do it. One has quoted $281 and the material is supplied too.Since I really don't have a place to really do any fab work, I phoned around to several fabrication shops for a price.
Job was just too small for most but did find a smaller shop that does this kind of work.
20 gauge steel is only $80 buts its 2 hours of work @ $175/hour that really upped the bill.
And it's not painted either for that.
I think there is a water jet place in town that it might be less expensive.
Yup, you could likely buy the material, and the tools required, and do it yourself and be money ahead, not to mention end up with new tools in your arsenal!Rather than CNC cut (water jet or plasma) which requires programing time, I would go with tracing from your cardboard and cut with a nibbler or zip disk and clean the edge with a flapper disk.
