fog light bracket

[ecdez]

I enjoy looking at others projects but never thought mine worthy to post. Thought I'd try something new today and let you guy see a small project I am, and have been, working on.

It will be a bracket to mount a fog light on a bumper overider on an old volkswagen.

3/4" x 3" aluminum bar. I thought it would be stiff enough to let it stick out but I was wrong and had to shove a piece under the other end to keep it from vibrating. Worked pretty well. It's not done yet and the guy already wants another one :thinking:.


CNC the piece.




Drill a couple holes




Slice it down the middle



Cut it off the giant holding tab and bolt it together.

As it sits now. It still needs a little finishing work but I think it looks good. The guy it's for is amazed. He must be easily amazed.

A few minutes on the belt sander and it's all wrapped up.

Excellent work. Can we see it in action?

Guy's gonna pick it up this coming weekend and I'm sure he'll throw it right on. Once I get a picture I'll post it up.

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the kind words.

This is the scale of stuff I've been making up to now and I just assumed is was a little too elementary to start a topic on. Maybe I should cast that view aside and post a few more of my projects ).

Now you're getting the idea. We appreciate all levels of skill and you are doing just fine. There is no rule that you have to be a 20 year machinist to post your projects. If that were the case I would not be allowed to post. So keep it coming we are all learning right along with ya.
