make sure it's the way it's supposed to be.

i was working on a set of custome sliders today for a 40.
slightly weird angles to cut, thought i had everything right.
got one side mocked up and measured...welded it up, no problem :D

measured up the other side, should be a mirror image of the first side right?
but i did'nt check for them to be the same :doh: welded it all up, put them side by side :mad: i can't stand it when i do that.
reversed an outrigger, some how i screwed it up.

SO, the moral of my mistake is:

tack you project up before commiting to final welding.make sure that if you're cutting mirrored parts, that they ARE in fact mirrored parts.
