[QUOTE="Talons, post: 283803, member: 9778"] I spent the day fabricating the new aluminum front deck for "The Little One". It was a slow process between making a cut, bringing the sheet over to the boat for fit, bringing it back to the driveway, making another cut, repeat. Then, when I finally got close, I made a trip to Harbor Freight. The most useful tool that I bought was a 4 1/2" Grinder. WOW! Made the job a lot easier. Once I got to where I thought, "Okay, it is grinder territory" I went and got the grinder (and a few other tools and such. I made some pictures along the way, and I hope you enjoy them. The 'fit' is there, but the deck is not 'completed'. It still needs the cutouts and it will be getting a new one as well. BUT, it "FITS"! And that was my goal for today. I am surprised it took me all day, but it did. On to the pictures! Talons p.s. I have NEVER worked with aluminum before! [/QUOTE]
