Nice work. You have a good jump on it now. The grinding is tedious, but I found that if you grind the welds the parts almost fall off. Saved me a lot of grinding (on one side at least) Of course, thats after I cut them down to a managable size....

I pieced mine together too...figure I saved about $500.00 by being patient and looking around.
Let me know if run into any issues....I am still fine tuning mine.

Wear safety glasses, a full face shield and gloves. Grinders/cutters/power tools don't know the difference between flesh and metal...they don't care.
Go to Lowe's and spend $15 on a FULL face shield. You only get TWO eyes.
Safety should ALWAYS be first in any project.
You go out in our shop w/o your safety glasses on...3 day upaid vacation.
