couple of pics

Pics of the welds are on a bumper for a friends rock crawler.   It will house a 8274 winch behind it eventually.   The press brake I have been collecting parts for a little while.   I had originally built one out of angle iron and round tube.  It worked for bigger stuff but you could not use if for anything shorter than around 4 inches.  This one works much better for the short stuff.  Made a small error in my calculations for where the upper spring mounts needed to be, so I had to add the spacers.

Reply:Nice, did you grind the bevel on the press brake yourself, or have it machined?  I'm collecting the pieces to build one myself.  Also, could you post a few more pics of the V-die?  Is it one piece, or something you welded up yourself?Thanks,GarLincoln Electric, Power MIG 256Hypertherm Powermax 45 Miller Dynasty 280DXSmith O/A torchGenesis of a welding table
Reply:A friend of mine is a hobby machinest, so he machined the die and shoe for me.   We trade welding and machine projects on a regular basis.   I will take some pics of it this week and get them posted up.
