Frame part 1 - raw materials

Getting metric rectangular tubing seems like a foolish endeavour, so this part of the project will use North American standard materials. I got a 20' length of nice 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 0.065" wall tubing 



























Also, 12' lengths of cold-rolled 1018 steel in 3/8" x 3/4" and 3/8' x 1". Working 1018 is such a pleasure after wrestling with that stainless!




Cut to length and cleaned up. A few more things to do here before they can be welded together...
