Bugzy wrote:What material are you using?
50x10mm flat bar for the brackets and 50x3mm thick square tubing as the slider and 50x3mm round tubing as a side step / secondary slider.

still trying to decide if I want to keep the secondary tubing slider at the same level as the square slider or to slightly raise the secondary slider / step.

comments on this idea welcome :scratch:
