Re: [Chrysler300] Shop Loft

Hi Bill;
After welding the perimeter up, run it thru a drill press for the board 
holes. Establish where they'll be, and drill away. With someone to feed 
and steady the beam and a wooden jig for it to slide thru, you'll be 
able to drill all the holes in a very short time. Using a hand drill or 
the welder will be tedious and very slow.

Set up is the key, once the holes are drilled, you can set it up and 
weld the steel frame together.

Let us know how it turns out and give us some photos, Ray
Y'all have a great holiday season, and tell all those special people 
that you love them.
