Re: Fabricating brackets for Aluminess Ladder
OK, now I am really jealous. I now realize that asking you to source a non-ferrous mitre saw blade must have been viewed as pretty weak on my part.* I just looked up the Bridgeport Milling Machine on my local craigslist. There is one for $2850 which is out of reach right now. Your brackets are artwork and likely what the designer intended until the production people said "Hey can't we do the same thing with a couple of machine screws (which will likely scratch the paint causing a rusted rain gutter and will not distribute the load as well...)?
I have moved through the wood age, to the steel age, but have yet to evolve to the aluminum age.
So, in comparison, my knuckles are still dragging...
(I do, however, consider my polyester and also epoxy fiberglass skills to constitute a separate but parallel evolutionary lineage.**)
*But if not, is the same blade available in 10" with a 1" arbor for my table saw?!
**You're down that way so be sure to check with Gigi or Wade at Fiberglass Hawaii, Ventura, for your fiberglass needs. They also ship.
