@@greenthingone6271 What are your plans for it? Do you want light weight aluminium or tougher steel. Steel was the right choice for me having the motorbike up there.
Having an engineering mind sometimes crosses that line between genius and madness, we never know which it is. Great solutions to your temporary problems there Matt. I really do enjoy watching your footage and have shamelessly stolen a couple of your ideas to make my build less problematic. :-) Keep it coming.
Hey great Job, there is a much easier way to get your fishmouth at the same point on both ends of your tube, place a piece of angle on your tube and scribe or mark the tube at both ends or down the entire length then on your notcher place a plumb line from the center going down vertically attach a mobile piece of wire ( can move up and down to accommodate different pipe/tube size) your tig wire works well. then when u place the tube in the notcher and simply touch the line to the wire for both cuts and u will be bang on. (fixed some bad writing sorry)
@@matthewpayneadventurerfilm8902 Work smarter not harder, Doesn't always work that way though ;-) looking forward to more from you. it is very motivational and keeps me on track or motivated :-) with my own Actros 1835 4x4 build. Oh and well done for your TIG work its definitely improving.

Thanks Guys, The extra thought and effort makes a big difference to the final finish.
Wow you are good , you will never be unemployed.
Thanks John.
Loved the video & engineering to solve the potential alignment issue👍🏻
Thanks Matti
Well done, looking good there Matt, the roof rack I mean 😬👍🏻
More to come. Front bars, ladder and stuff :)
Fantastic idea with your jig, roof rack looks great, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Tony.

Thanks Buckaroo. It's good to hear. I like to hear I have helped in some way. Makes the effort worth while.
