Outstanding Steve!!!

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop
 

Off to a good start Steve! Are you welding this together?

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop
 

**** this thing is going to killer.Another great build.

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop
 

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 ;)

Great looks solid!

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop
 

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

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop
 

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

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop
 

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

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop
 

Steve thanks for that. Ed

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop
 

That looks very nice Steve. Hiding the screws sounds great.

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop
 

Because then you don't have to tear this one apart to have templates for another one

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop
 

Now this baby is off to a good start. Can't wait to see her done!

Re: IHB 53' X 102" single drop
 

Holy Smokes, Steve. Great job! You bringing this to Brookville? What about the the truck towards the right of the trailer build, do I see a Mega Wrecker in the making? That's what I wanna see updates of.
