I think I know how this part goes together, but I'd like to double-check with you guys that I'm reading the plans correctly.
Referencing the plans section below, I'm looking at the largest part, which is 3" wide, has what appears to be two bends in it, and has two holes in it. Specifically, the short lip that has the arrows pointing to it -- is that part bent from the main body of the part, or welded on? It looks like it's bent, but there's no bend radius noted, and it's drawn as if it's got no radius at all.
The diagonal side support pieces also look like they might be bent rather than welded, with that dashed line in the left-hand view. Did Ed expect people to make up the flat pattern and bend this up, or is it really six different pieces that are edge-welded together? It makes much more sense to me as a collection of individual pieces that are welded (though that presents its own jigging problems).
Thoughts?
