I wanted to build the board a little thicker but wood is so expensive lol thought you guys might like to see it. I will post a video as soon as he gets his bag.
the steel cost 60$ and the wood can range from 18$ to 200$ lol depending one thickness and species. what I built here is a near exact copy of the I box non adjusible platform exept where the drum conects to the metal frame I used a 12" round pice of steel insted of a 4x6 or 4x4 piece square piece of steel. And the thickness and matterial of the drum. Getting the angles down was the most challenging part of this project. Hope to hear more from ya folks
and that would be fine for a platform Like mine and many others. What I was trying to make here is a work of art. I have yet to see a bed rail made from 2x4 cold rolled heavy gauge steel tubing wich was most of the cost on this project. Although at the scrap metal yards you have a good chance of finding these things. and remember the heaver the steel the better the unit. and @ 13.75 a foot for thick wall 2x4 tubing things can get expensive realy quick especialy if you make a wrong cut. But I have to agree angle iron is a great way to go.... I mean shit my platform is made out of a bed frame=
