Re: 1966 SWB Beginner Bag Build

Went and visited my uncle today who just happens to have a plasma cnc and metal break and got down on making my rear brackets

The original plan was to make these exact brackets however in pieces and weld them all up but I couldn't pass up the opportunity of using the cnc table and break

No the rear of the frame hits the ground before the rear arms hit I have two inch blocks. However it is hard to tell because the front is not done yet

Re: 1966 SWB Beginner Bag Build

Got one of the lower arms cupped and the other cup made used 1/8 inch strap and 1/4 plate for the bottoms. Bent the circle by hand around a wood template while tacking until I bent completely around then grounded the circle tacks off the table. Not a perfect circle but good enough for me
