WISH ME LUCK AND ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS

Good luck! Measure twice and cut once ...... (not like me, cut 3 times and find it's STILL too short! ). Post pics as you go along!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow. Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive. It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain. And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

posting as I go along is the idea so that if I stuff up hopefully someone will be able to point it out.

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

and there was that issue with welds that contracted with the heat. So after much ado please refer to previous photographs for updates.
(and there is also the issue of the bedside tables that have to get finished for Dogmatix, ask no questions hear no lies )
