We need to have a go at making one of these. I've been looking at types people make and wonder what the balance is between strength and ease of making. Some are C-shape from box sections; some are square/ rectangular from box sections, often with supports to the frame (these look easiest to make); some are 2 x C-shapes cut from sheet and connected by bars/ tubes (would definitely involve someone else to do the cutting etc). It'll be for making repair panels for cars, with an eye to making complete panels in the future (once a lot of learning's been done). We have a small bench top one so get the principles, but would like advice if you have any on what style frame to go for.
I'm drawn to the square shape using 100mm square section x 5mm thickness for the main structure, smaller profile for the supports.
Thanks for any thoughts, C
