Shrinking metal with a Tree stump

I finally found a use for cedar trees. A metal shrinking stump. In this video we continue working on the Tahoe frame swapped International pickup by fabricating a cab corner from scrap shelving.

You'd have to look carefully to find where I cut it. It had lots of friends.

You are One good Ol boy well done on metal fab

Thanks! My dad always told me you can't accomplish anything if you don't try. I have had to try multiple times, a lot of times.😁

For this build, I wanted to show that a project can be built with very little money, albeit with a lot of sweat equity. So far, I have invested at lot of time but little hard cash. 😁
The replacement cab corner for the IH is $60. I would recommend buying the patch panels and just deal with their usually poor fitment.

I think you should dig out the rest of that stump,make a boat and we can go fishing ! corner turned out good.

I have enough cedars to build Noah's ark. I am definitely ready for the metal work to be done on this "should be pretty quick" project.

Harbor Freight has a chainsaw blade attachment for that 41/2 grinder that would have saved you 1 /2 that time and made you laugh the hole time fixing that stump.

Thanks, I will look for it next time I'm in Harbor Freight.
