[QUOTE="hempy, post: 6343146, member: 571956"] The stainless turned out to be much harder to bend. I wasn't sure if it would be easier or not, as it seems softer since it scratches so easily. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_6866.jpg[/IMG] After some really messy ends from cutting with the Dremel, I decided to use the jigsaw to cut the threaded rod when I found an extra metal blade. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_6867.jpg[/IMG] They look great with the stainless washers. I'm still thinking about hitting all of the hardware with the torch. I had a hot spot when cutting with the jigsaw and the bluing looked really great.

Lots of sanding, trim the rods, countersink the screw holes, more sanding, etc. Think I might at least have these guys up and working (unpainted) by the end of the weekend. [/QUOTE]
