The Osborn Super Suspension plans show 2"X.75" bar stock bent.
but plans for the Gamolo use welded 1.25" Square tubing, The Simplex Levitation use 1.5", cut and welded. No bending I am just going to use 1.5" Sq,Tubing. I have a MIG welding class at Tech Shop coming up. Metal supper maket is just down the streat from my office, so need to see what they carry, for wall thickness on the tubing. My other option would be to cut the entire G from a sheet of .75" steel using a water jet, then it would only need bending the easy way. Verses using a bar stock that would require bending both the hard way, and the easy way. Cutting and Welding I am fine with, bending not so much.... |

I am talking steel only
The simplex plan is steel tubing only, the Gamolo plans have both a steel only, and a steel & aluminum mixed version. The Osborn plans are steel bar stock. |
