Amazing what you can draw using circles, angles and parallel lines when it comes to drawing a lot and building.

I am trying to go 3D though.
Yep we do a lot of steel fab drawings.

Even after all these years of doing mechanical drawings/autocad, I still think it's neat to start out with a few lines and end up with a complete assembly of something.

BTW, doing 3D in autocad itself really sucks. It's hard to do, unless you're doing "faux 3d" (isometric) drawings.

the only thing wrong with it is the crack in the frame of it but i ran some jb weld on the inside to keep it from expanding welding it probably would have discolored it.ill eventually weld it and have it powdercoated

Josh, that one looks pretty familiar:



You lucked out with the lights tho, I had to get new ones, my 6"x4" wouldn't fit in there right so I had to downsize to 5"x3.5" and up the bulbs to 100W to make up for it, overall tis pretty nice I think, but I'd like to replace two of them with flood lights...

first time I've seen a see-thru snow plow, is that better than the regular solid metal ones?

Hit anything larger than a Labrador Retriever and your "cow killer" is going to be a grille and radiator killer..

Yeah, that way you can see when you're about to run over the neighbor's mailbox...

Actually, they are pretty nice for visibility and lighter weight. And you don't need to use auxillary lighting like a standard blade would.

Dave, how does that stand up compared to a metal blade?
