If I had a tig so I could make the welds small . but I figured a way so you don't see the screws cept for the deck bolts ;)

Arioch thanks , Greg thanks twice ;)

Steve got a question will that Ryoby band saw cut aluminum? Ed

delta. yes but not with the wood blade I got a metal blade for it . I mostly use the chop saw and table saw and mill any more . with the band saw you got to use bees wax on the blade or something of the sort . All the cross members I milled clamped together for symmetry

[Roadmasters]

Steve, don't forget to make an extra of each part incase you need to make another!!

[JAMMER]

Steve thanks for that. Ed

[Hos1880]

Merritt

[SonoranWraith]

[ihbuilder]
