Things are coming together nicely on the crossbeam hinges. I'm super thankful for my friend, Jim Ellis, at Credence Engineering for offering to do all this for me at no cost. He's put a lot into this and I just can't appreciate it enough! So I'm doing some of the manual cleanup of these parts with files and a buffing wheel. Also made this wood block (in pic) so that the pieces can be clamped together square and then welded. Still got a few hours of work left before Jim's ready to weld the pieces. Seeing it all come together, I'm certain this is going to be a solid hinge and will be worth it's weight in gold when transporting Shan Skailyn.
