Just personal preference I guess, but I would never use a straight cut to shorten a frame.

Full penetration weld. Means there is 100% weld joining the 2 piece of metal instead of just butting the 2 pieces together. You can see he has a slight gap between the frame rails, then he adds a small piece of metal to one side and uses weld to join it together. Hope that helps

Great work btw

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"
