Good thing I'm not too hung up on how great my projects look, or I'd never post after Guy.
However, this morning I traced out my cardboard pattern on the wall of an old water tank I'm using as scrap steel, threw a cutting disc in the angle grinder and roughed it out
Then I finalized the outline, drilled the holes for the axle and bent it to shape.
It ain't pretty, but it will make raising and lowering the hay elevator so much easier.
