Huge creeper support
Client wanted sturdy supports so that his creepers could span his driveway. Two 3mm(1/8") plasma cut sides per support, with flat bar ladder frame between.

Those supports look fantastic! Nice job. Too bad they may eventually get hidden.

Re: Huge creeper support
Took me reading through the whole thread to figure out what the heck you were talking about. You should be in the awning business, you could easily get that featured in a trade publication. I have never seen anything like that in my 12 years in the business.
