Cat offroad Articulating Truck Parts- Todays picture shows the very early stages of me fabricating the sheet metal . This is a very early picture and it is hard for people to imagine how it will look whe it is done. Heck, it’s hard for me to imagine what it is going to look like, ha,ha.
Glad I have a great imagination too lol
There is no easy way to get all the shapes and curves with a flat piece of metal. It is just a lot of trial and error . Many time after i get to a certain stage I go back and redo things because they don’t look right. But I have to get to that point and stand back and see some things look right and that is what i work off.
Operation Today – Last week my dad lost his balance on the steps and fell on my mom and she fell and broke her arm. So today my mom is in the hospital getting operated on. Were sending her lots of extra prayers. We will head down to the farm to see her.
Have a great Monday !
