i,m thinking each tube has 2 ends so that gives 2 cuts but then also all the other cuts such as the compound angles etc, so if it helps its over 200 cuts

the 3rd question is even more sad

400 + cuts in my case

I square cut all of my tubes first ( To get the steel out from under my feet )

The angles were cut as & when I needed them

Yep, there's a right way a wrong way & Ronnies way !!??

Bonzo i cut all of my rails like that as it meant i had a flat edge to then mark the next piece up from. Im guessing 243 for the amount of cuts...Now what really would be sad Andy, is asking us how many mm of steel we had to cut through and the amout of steel removed by making them cuts...

Is that on a hot or a cold day Ronnie?

I knew the answer too, but then i should. If your talking chassis plates though Keith's your man, he knows them all off by heart.

Kind regards
