Can anybody else make these for less than $80?
These are well done and made from a substantial hunk of metal.
Have not measured the thickness yet.
Thickness may be fine, but your important caution is weld penetration. Of course thicker metal wont burn so easy and you can run it at good high heat and get penetration, like wd suggested, grind @ the welds and wiggle and load it, if you see a line of separation, weld it ... repeat, till you dont, then gusset ...
Cool.
