kicked the first upright out of the jig
This gives a nice feeling. There will be plates on each side for extra strenght.
And no; at the lower isn't a cut in the weld it is the light fooling around.

looks good - do you use a plasma cutter for profiling the parts?

what a heat!!!
i would weld it with less welds..
you put a tremendous amount of heat in it...
didn't it pull anywhere??
Tks

My father in law has made them with .....
Now it becomes tricky in English.
Controlled sparkes technology ?
The rest is made by hand with a milling machine.
I'm glad to be married

It didn't get the change, it melded into to jig
I'm always thinking "one weld extra" and "where is no weld, there will be water between"

CNC wire eroder = controlled sparkes technology I think
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

mhhh
There are 2 options 1 is the wire the other is with a mold the mold goes closer and closer to the sheet and then the sparks eat bit by bit the
material away.
not exactly a normal way of fabricating this part (my opinion) (expensive!!!)

Correct terminalogy...
Terminology would be "Wire EDM" (Electro-spark Discharge Machining). Slow but very precise with very small kerf. No heat involved in the
process whatsoever, takes place under water. (or oil)
Edm will cut most any conductive substance including carbide.

Yep, and not expensive
Was for free!
That's the locost-feeling!!
Asked at a company to water cut these and a couple extra parts, 400 Euro's 
So the company where he is working cut it out during the night when there was no work to do.
Sometimes you have luck!
