Thanks, Mongo. It's been a pleasant surprise to see how things have gone. I keep waiting for the crap to hit the rotating air mover.

Good buddy Vern came by today and we went down to the welding supply and loaded up on argon. So I had no excuse for not working this afternoon. I grafted the latch mount to some 18 gauge sheetmetal. I still had a gap too big to bridge on one side so I had to scab a thin piece of material onto it, but it's good to go now. Once I get it welded into place, I'll continue covering the bottom hinge recess which will give me a nice smooth jamb when the door opens.
