I know it sounds real good and save a ton of money, I have made a couple and the fact is it's not hard to end up with a lot of money and time in a project that may or may not work at it's best for what a person wants. Sometimes bite the bullet and buy something that is designed and tested and save a lot of stress is a better way to go. Just about any save money project has a lot of hidden problems. Maybe the Ambush was an exception.

If someone had plans for a platform made of stock aluminum that used bolts and no welding, I’d be interested in trying a build myself at home. I only have basic hand and power tools so welding aluminum is out for me.

This place was founded on people that make their own gear and not because it’s cheap or easy. Many people enjoy the process of creating something that can’t be bought.

Jeff C, make sure to post some pictures of the progress!

How to get strange looks. AKA DIY platform

So I went into a mobility scooter store and asked about foot platforms. The staff cock their head slightly. I show them pictures and they say let me look out back. They come back with one I smile. They say we have quite a few actually would you like to look. Of course I say yes as my smile...

Are you going to make to sell? I would like to see someone make something similar to the artisan stick platform that was slightly bigger.
