Homebrew Front Bumper
Check out my new front bumper i made in shop class at my high school. I wanted something with a low profile so i ended up with this. I started with the center piece and then moved on to the sides. Im pretty happy with the end result and would love to hear what you guys think.
Materials used:
-1.5" & 2" square tubing
-3/8" metal plating (for mounts and D-Rings)
-8g Sheet metal (for skid plate type deal)

Looks great, though 3/8 is total overkill for the mounts. Cool to see a high school still has shop class anymore, let alone one that lets you weld.

Thanks guys! And yeah our school's shop class is actually a manufacturing class that focuses mainly on welding. Really lucky to have the class, i used this as a project so the materials were free of charge!
