Mr Motivator Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 You'll keep blowing holes in the 0.95mm. Just go full on and use 3mm like Genny.Just bodge it all together, you don't need to worry about the angles and stuff too much, as long as it looks ok.

Will Arnold Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 you will need to mitre(sp?) all of the tubes and make some kind of a jig at a guess, or do it by eye, tack welding it first.it one of my projects for the summer, to make my own frame, should be good good luck!!
