    say what ya will Matt, but im looking at proffessional grade work there. I expect the finished product to be even better than you seem to expect, as close to perfect as YOU can get it and no one can ask for or expect more than that.
    Keep up the good work guy, and sooner than you might think you'll GETERDONE!!!!!!

    I know. I might have some weird angles to cut some things, but once it's skinned up, it'll hide the imperfections... I have built a few sheds and there all off by about the same, but can't tell it otherwise... all in all, for the simple tools I have, being a 4" angle grinder with cut off wheels, 4 1/2" angle grinder with grinding wheels. cheap 110v MIG welder ( same as northern tool MIG 135 and is a Hobart Handler 140 knockoff ). chalk line, woodworking clamps, 1 welding clamp and a handfull of welding magnents. for 'adjustments' I don't have a hammer and dolly, I use a ball peen hammer and a block of wood. had a couple places on the cowl side that were bowed out from tension, and hammer and wood fixed it so it could be welded .. 30+ year old 220v Lincoln A/C 225 arc welder was used on the frame. it's coming out pretty good.
