the bunk
Today I finished welding the bunk to the big box. It came out ok but I had some metal move even after a lot of work to keep it in place. The bunk is made from .069 wall tubing and it is hard (for me) to get good welds to the .095 and .120 tubing of the box. The bunk only weighs 140 # and the first picture shows how I was able to get it up in place. I build it standing on it's nose and then tilted it back to the box. I was able to lift it and put a 6' ladder under it and then put pipe clamps on top and pull it tight against the box. I moved it outside to clean the shop and take pictures. Next up is to order the FRP .
