5) After Dye chem and some measuring and scribing. I start my Pilot holes, I'm using 2 other drill bits of the same size butt end in the holes to keep the parts aligned while drilling that way I only have to clamp on one side.

6) I enlarged the smaller holes from the previous photo to all 1/2", and still using the butt end of one of the 1/2" drills I am boring 7/8" holes now. Some remain 7/8 and one gets enlarged to 1-3/8"

7) Final Product two exactly 18" Long, 3" x 1/4" with holes that match exactly because I drilled them stacked and used aligning pins in the holes during every drilling and milling process.

That's about it for now I got a bunch of 2" square stock to cut, when I get to more technical or assembly/welding I will continue.... Stay tuned
