Btw, if you plan on making more. Cut down on time by using long sheet of steel and cutting the lines just deep enough to bend metal into shape. Then, fold and weld one edge. Good work

Good idea, I just don't have the tooling to do it that way.

Cutting all that by hand doesn't really cut down on time and effort.

Getting your supplier to do it on the shear like you did is a better way, for sure.

Just pointing angle grinder is all you need for the score and bend method. May actually save time in so far as it saves fit-up, but the cutting is a bit of a pain. Though on 1/8 it should be fairly quick
