[Firemedic831]

So since I could not find anything that would work for what I needed I decided it was time to just Make my own . I was not really sure were to start so I made a to scale model and went from there

 

[Firemedic831]

Once I figured out the design and look it was time to get to work

 

[Firemedic831]

A quick run to the hardware store and I was all set to start building

 

[Firemedic831]

After a little more you tube I figured I better try some better glue so I picked up a hot glue gun

 

[Firemedic831]

A little progress

 

[Firemedic831]

Now to make it for real

 

[Firemedic831]

Not as easy as it looks on tv

 

[Firemedic831]

Starting to look like something

 

[Firemedic831]

Am am really happy with how it turned out and I learned a lot along the way

 

[Firemedic831]

I found a shop
That could bend some parts for me . Much less work on my end and much cleaner lines So I had them bend me a a couple

 

[Firemedic831]

Melted them together

 

[Whiskerz]

That looks good

Thank you. It was just easier for me to use to make a mock up

Nice job!

Are you making these to sell to other owners? I ask, because you built yours and then had a couple "bent" up.
