I hope you didn't take me the wrong way. I build the same way you do starting with paper templates and then transferring to metal. I was just thinking that if you wanted to mass produce them, you could make tooling that would stamp them out in a jiffy!
no absolutely not i did not take it the wrong way i was just explaining on how i do it ,not really interested in mass producing anything .i find it hard to find time to build with my hours as a trucker .i would hate to have people hounding me .."where's my stuff"...maybe when i retire and turn my truck into a huge RV then i would have lots of time to do that ,until then i will do a few things here and there
