Hello Lonnie, <img border="0" alt="[byebye]" title="" src="graemlins/wave.gif" />
A supplement to my 01/18 post;
At the time of starting the "Ideal", I was recovering from a severe Kidney Cancer operation and accompanying Lymph Gland operation with complications.
I had neither the cash, nor strength to hunt around and travel to obtain the unusual types of materials needed. $260.00 for seamless high strength tubing which was only available in 12' lengths, as one example. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />
And as a result I was continually digging into my "Machinery's Handbook" for applicable steels.
And I had to reach far back into my past
"materials" experiences to come up with the differing types of steel characteristics necessary to do the job. <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
However this is the type of challenge that I needed to push me on in my recovery. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />
And it sure worked well for me! <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />
