Hasn't happened yet in the last 38 years or so

I wear a full face shield (and regular safety glasses) when I'm using thin cutoff discs. And if it's in a funny position or a tricky cut (up under the jeep or whatever) I'll put my thick leather welding jacket on.

I like the metabo cutoff wheels, they don't seem to chip like the ones I get locally.

Last one you can see where the center part overlaps.

Got to trim a few ribs so the top strap will sit flush on it

Art, with all that gusseting, won't it increase the wind resistance?

5 miles more or less, as long as it gets to the finish line

Not bad. It's well worth it then.

Done screwing with the truss, ordered some limit straps and synthetic powersteering fluid.
From there on to the cupholder
