That'll work. Did you do the cuts or purchase them?

I made the cuts

Bandsaw? I rigged up a make shift fence for my bandsaw it works ish. I want a bandsaw that auto feeds but I can't justify it now and I'm running out of space in my shop. I usually only make pie cuts when I can't do a tight mandrel.

Your tig work is getting a lot better. I find myself grabbing my tig over my mig even for quick little jobs. I like not having sparks landing on my head or having to grind it down. I never thought I'd take to it and wished I would've gotten one years ago.

I wasted 500 dollars on a cold saw before going to a harbor freight bandsaw. I purchased a good bi metal blade and its amazing.

I have a chop saw with a metal blade........ it works ok........only down side is Ive gotta spend a few seconds cleaning up the cut ends, more so than I would think you would have to with a band saw, or any fine tooth metal blade device

I had the makita cold saw, its a waste if your cutting stainless. One mistake and you destroy a 125 dollar carbide blade. Just not worth it. After switching to the harbor frieght i can make 1000x more cuts with no problems

You make some nice "art". Looks fantastic!!! I wish I was that talented.

I appreciate the compliment..... I dont think i would say talented. It just practice. Anyone can do it if they put the time in. I love fabricating. What makes or breaks your projects in the prep work. The cuting, cleaning, beveling and purging. This is what has improved my work imo. I spend alot of time making sure every section is flat and beveled properly.
