    I've finished one side of the frame... took all day! It's nice and flat/square :)

    I'm going to get the other side of the frame clamped up now, and weld it tomorrow. I think I'll clamp the other side to the side I've just welded.

    I have now welded the second side of the frame. I clamped it to the other side to get it flat etc:

    I then tacked it together and welded the horizontal joins ... then rotated it and did the same etc:

    My welding is getting much more consistent. Still probably should have chosen something simpler for my first welding project!

    Now I have positioned the remaining pieces to work out how to proceed:

    I decided to use some spacers from steel tube. I'll put a few more in and use them to clamp the in between pieces. Cats were interested...
