I just started to weld and started to build mini sandrail wagons.

very nice. Are you bending all of your own tubing??

yes, I am using my EMT benders, 3/4". I'm an electrician and bending pipe is my specialty. Almost done with the project, just got to finish some loose ends and paint it, but haven't decided on a color yet.

nice mani, where did you get the tubing from? it looks pretty well built
