Borrowed the photo from Gerald, hoping someone can supply the dimensions of the floor drain deflector on the Bugeye Sprite? Thanks
 
Nice work. So was that a cut and bend and weld on the lip thing or a hammer and form job to make. Can you share the process?
 
What I did was anneal the steel with a rich acetylene torch to take the temper out. Then hammer the steel out on a die that I made from wood. After all of the shaping and finishing was done then heat it up again then quench, ready to weld in. Dimensions are 2.5” x 2”x 1” length-width-and width of center.
 
Wow, thats amazing! Very nice work. What kind of wood? I assume maple or cherry and piece of square stock to use as a punch.

Kurt.
