Hi Guys,
I'm a newbie to this fabrication game. I've only been gas welding a couple months and this is my first build. I write code for a living so any help and tips are VERY appreciated.
At the end of the day I'm an idiot with a big hammer.
I've started by fabricating the bulkhead as I want to use the hinge pins as a datum for the whole bodywork.
The bottom of the door has a curve so I couldn't do that edge in a folder, I simply bent it with a hammer over wood. My shrinker/stretcher head wouldn't fit.
This is where I originally wanted to put the hinges, but the door would foul at about 20 degrees. OK if you only ever squeeze in sideways but I wanted a bit more so I'm moving them 65mm forward.
Hopefully it's twin will be less work
The thing I'm worried about is not the odd dent or curve slightly off but the accumulation of errors making one side 5 inches longer than the other.
This is what I want it to roughly look like.
