My first cage, what do you all think?
Approx 80ft of 1 1/2" DOM, I am not the best welder but I think it came out pretty well. Me and a buddy slaved away for a few days, cage work is harder than I thought.

I still want to add a few things, but I am moving to Oklahoma in less than 3 months so I need to save money. I want to add some gussets, something to the B hoop to make it stronger, and cut the front off and add some tubing. All in time though, you know how the want list works sometimes.

looks great. might want to add a gusset where the the tube ties into the frame and slider though. keep up the good work:D

looks good, the only thing I would have done differently is make the top bars that tie into the b hoop point to one another.

You could have mentioned "Who" your buddy is:flipoff2: and where the work was done

I didn't know if you wanted me to just yet, I thought I would see how the Pirate review board would comment first. So now that you have chimed in, my "buddy" is Kajo here and he just opened his own small fab shop, he does some really good work, so if you have time, check out his website, and if you ever move to Hawaii give him a call. This ones for you John:flipoff2:

Nice rig. I need something tiny, cheap and fun for around here. That'd be ideal! Once you hit Oklahoma, that rig will get a ton of changes with the wheeling there. :grinpimp:

If you want to advertise your services here on Pirate I would suggest you talk to Lance about getting a Yellow star....

I knew someone would comment on that.
