Have made a little progress over the last week. Started on the headboard which will be made from cattle rail and wanted it to curve a bit and follow the cabin. I have a mate with a roller so filled the cattle rail with sand to avoid crushing and welded end caps on.
Turns out u cant just roll it you end up crushing it and making a real mess. So it was back to the shed for the old cut and shut to bend it around. These are the sides,
and the top piece,
Just for the hell of it I cut out the front square corner and ran the rounded edge of the cattle rail right down.
Did a whole bunch of grinding after the cut n shut.
Trying to cut angles on curved stock is not the easiest
Once it was all shaped I tacked it all up
Pretty happy with the final outcome now probly should repeat it now and make a rear hurdle to match.
Couldn't hug the cab much more I reckon
Next I'm looking to recess in a brake light into the top of the headboard, again just for the hell of it. This one I bought is a bit big and a bit red when not active so I'm looking to find one a bit smaller and one that is clear when not lit up.
