Too late for brazing..I lost my torches some years ago..I'm finally down to an 8 foot section of bedframe angle iron and a few 2' sections of flat steel. It's not going to be too heavy..I really need to build the carriage doors, but I'll have to shore up the frame around the door openings first. The whole thing is framed with 2x4 garbage. They don't build em like they used to with granite slabs and slave labor.. not that I'm advocating for the return of slavery or anything here. UHMM..Slavery is bad..OK? So are drugs, ok?
