so your saying that i should have plated top and bottom right? i can see what you meen... i had lifted the tub for the initial weld and planned on plating all sides but i ended up not cuz i didnt have room for the back weld with out lifting it again....

but do you think that it is strong enuf how it is now? i also dont have a brake to bend the sheet over the top... thought about putting a piece of the 2x4 on the bottom cut to fit in.

It's fine and would have been without the fish plate.

You might consider improving your welds just a tad by stopping your movement at the end of the weld with the trigger depressed to fill the craters and get rid of them.

Makes for a slightly better weld appearance and a slightly better weld.
