    Default What I did with my Memorial Day

    Today I added a brush guard to my home-made front bumper. I got some 1/2" rigid pipe from a removal at work and saved 30' of it for myself. I then bent it with a 3/4" conduit bender to "almost" the right shape. Vertical pieces were V notched where they meet the round tube then I welded the whole thing up. My bends are NOT exact but neither am I.

    Looks good! I always like the homemade projects since they're one of a kind!
