Have seen three versions of these hinges - 1) Welded up steel as per the plans, 2) Cast aluminum available from Vi Kapler, and 3) Made from a section of square aluminum tube in the newsletter..... Just wondering whats the best way to go? Clay San Antonio________________________________________________________________________________
