Thank you but it’s the good tools I believe. Well and learning to use them properly. I clamp a straight edge for cuts like that sheet and then drag the plasma cutter right down the straight edge. Leaves pretty much a ready to weld edge.
Yessir! At first I questioned myself but I just had to keep it simple. I grew up watching my dad take on wild stuff. I think he figured if another man could do it so could he and if he could mess it up he could fix it. Lol. Back in the 80’s and 90’s dad was chopping brand new trucks in half and stretching them. If you remember in the mid 90’s you couldn’t buy a crew cab dodge. Well my dad was building them. Anyhow a divorce and some poor choices later he quit doing that. From the time I was a toddler until I was 13ish he made some awesome creations. All the pictures have been destroyed over the years but I did find a bunch of negatives in a box of family stuff the other day. I think my wife is gonna see about getting them made into pictures. Anyhow I thank you for the compliment! As I was building this bin someone would as what angle I would do x at. I’d say I don’t know. I still don’t know after I built it. I knew my center band was 10’x10’. I knew I wanted a 24” opening an the top and a 16” opening at the bottom. I just eyeballed from there. Once I had one sheet with the unknown angles on it running correct then I replicated it 3 times. I think sometimes we talk ourselves out of doing something because the math is scary. The math IS scary. I just go at er like a biting sow and figure I’ll work my way out of problems and hopefully learn from my mistakes. Thanks again for your compliment and I went off into a whole chapter there but I want to encourage everyone to go at it! Anybody can do anything I can do if they just keep going at it! Just like dad did!
That would make one heck of a deer feeder!
