    Base is 12 ga. steel. Then I coated it with construction adhesive, and poured gravel on it and let it sit for a couple days in my heated shop. Poured off the excess and there ye go!

    Great job, and the guy is skinny enough to actually be wearing biking shorts. Heavier guys in biking shorts are scary.

    You've no idea how little I like you right now....

    We had a sunny day a month ago, and I had the misfortune of passing a 250+lber on a Huffy. All @ss. There wasn't a seat to be seen.

    I'd literally JUST gotten the image out of my head.
    Full hand tool assortment, collecting sheet metal hammers/dollies, more time than money.
