also its probably better to make it out of 1.5 - 2mm, i used 3 mm and it was a pain in the ar5e to do the little bend in it

i clammed it to the bench and put all my weight on it and it barely moved, i resorted to sitting on it and jumping up and down

You have never seen the YC school of fabrication.

Bench vice, big hammer, gas torch.

i asked him to make me one but he said bye the time he's bought the materials it would be cheaper to go and get it done somewhere else, can only bye a minimum of 5M of the stuff you see so unless he makes loads its not worth it
