[QUOTE="Joe2Lmaker, post: 498735, member: 2663"] The next plate is ready to be bent. I had no idea I was going to get such an education in sheet metal. Holy crap! Bend allowance, K-factor, Y-factor, ... If you cut angles on a piece before you bend it what do you get? A radius is what you get (in the corner). :dribble: Anyway, if you remember, I was happy with the way this plate looked: [IMG]https://lh3.ggpht.com/Joe2Lmaker/SLc2u8WUNlI/AAAAAAAABtA/3lbs1w60cUQ/s400/DSC04091.JPG[/IMG] This is what I came up with for the front and sides (plate 2): [IMG]https://lh4.ggpht.com/Joe2Lmaker/SOUxe0qvNOI/AAAAAAAACDU/A7adfDhPCiA/s400/rev5_check_2008oct01.jpg[/IMG] (the lighter colored piece is what I have now) And a view from the bottom: [IMG]https://lh6.ggpht.com/Joe2Lmaker/SOUxfN8s4bI/AAAAAAAACDc/o-Ysb1wEnNo/s400/rev5_check_2008oct01_bottom.jpg[/IMG] If this works, all I have left are the two easiest pieces! :yahoo: [/QUOTE]
