Thread: Progress on the Xpress restoration

Mithcell, you're right! I've been watching Richard Gene the Fishing Machine too, so I can use a coleman cooler if I need to.

Glenn, you aren't kidding. It greatly speeds up the process. Our shear is a beast, it never even knows it's cutting the .125" aluminum. LOL The brake is nice too because I can make angle instead of buying it. I have yet to use a new, uncut sheet of aluminum on the boat. Everything I've used so far has come out of the scrap rack. I may have to get out a new piece for the doors....

I'm building a trolling rack for my new boat right now. Got the welding done. Got to drill all the holes this weekend and I'll be ready to roll

I think you will be happy with that. It looks great so far!

Thanks. All went well this evening until I got started building the doors. Then I went through plan 1, 2 and 3. I think I settled on plan 4. LOL I never rush into a fabrication decision. I overthink every single one of them.

There is nothing wrong with that. Like they say measure twice cut once.
