my normaha build start

really like the featherbed frames so that's the basic start of this long road.. got lucky to have a guy loan me an atlas thinline frame for a week to let me measure and make form jigs and yesterday after a day of scrap i got one side bent up!....so here's the start of a long road...

...any suggestions along the way chime in!

Dont have a ton of cash for a featherbed frame? fuck it build your own! Lovin it!
