    I've gotten a few requests for all my designs, I'm not too keen on giving it all away, but you can poke thru my 3D eDrawings model here. You will need SolidWorks eDrawings viewer.

    See his post
    „We're having the raw steel plate & tube cut & bent by job shops, so that wont be an issue. Plus one of my friends on the build runs a machine shop so there wont be much we can't do!“

    I have a question, if you were to make another one, what would you change?

    I mean it looks perfect from an outsiders perspective (well mine anyway) but as the user, you will have indepth knowledge, about little things, that you would do differently if there were that "next" time.
