my bender has dies for 1.625 tube,1 5/8 tube.i was using pipe,which is almost 1.680 or 1.11/16th. thats why i was fighting to get the pipe into the dies,if i had proper tube it would have been so much easier. Both rails fit perfect without trimming,all they needed was flanges welded on the ends. All in all it was a job well done,i was trying to get all those projects done before shoulder surgery.

That was impressive
And not easy to do for sure.
Nice work, Great machine!
Nice that you are helping out your neighbor.
Cardboard plans are always the best!
