    Materials question.

    Do you have a local metal supplier?  If so, just ask for hot rolled steel.  The most common available hot rolled is A36.   If they carry it, cold rolled plate is alot nicer to work with, but a little more money.  Cold rolled is a bit tougher and is typically a 1018 steel.  The hot rolled has a...

    I finished my First R F build Step By Step W/Qview

    Looks good Ahron.  I don't have a pic right now, but my buddy took a piece of round tube, cut in half lengthwise,  and welded it over the damper rod.  He drilled a hole through the center of the tube and welded a nut to it.  I then added a handle to this so that you can move the damper anywhere...
