Got my steel saturday, they sell drops and end pieces from there big warehouse so stuffs cheaper since it doesnt have papers. Didnt have any 1/8 wall longer then 3ft. So i got 3/16. I coulda got new sticks but it was still cheaper to get the 3/16 so I figured heavyier duty and less chance for warpage when welding.

I started sunday but it was so dam hot I stopped after cutting the 2 62" pieces, got bored got some 90* framing clamps and got to tacking the 2 side peices together to see physically how much space I was going to take up. I need to cut my 2 other 44" and grind or trim down my other 2 56", I hate abrasive cutoff saws I had 2 exactly 56 and the other 2 were a little over 56 1/32.

I really liked using these clamps, But I still double checked with a square before I tacked it.
