faust · 05-31-2009, 10:15 PM

i'm also building the stand for the 240 so both can go to the powder coater at the same time

Nice! I guess since you are Powdercoating them you are leaving them open? What color are you powdercoating them? I used to sell park furniture that was powdercoated, what a great look! Can't wait to see pics of after that!

actually it will be skinned, 3 removable panels. they will be held on by rare earth magnets. i will head down to the exotic lumber center to decide on the wood.

Looks good.
Quality should stand the test of time.

Nice, I have wanted to make an aluminum stand with polished tread plate for years. But have never devoted the time to the project.

Keep the pics of your progress coming.

i guess i'm lucky, i work for a structural steel fab shop. i have jig tables, engineers, welders and QC people that helped put this together. our QC guy, carey . went as for as x-raying the welds before and after i polished it. i think we, meaning my wife has decided on zebra wood to skin it. this part is going to be fun as i will dove tail all joints
