Default BudLights scaler build

Was wanting to build a scaler for sometime and well since my axial needs parts I figured to try my hand at a scaler. I built a wreckluse look a like in the past but that got scrapped. Here's what I have done up so far. Wish me luck

Use a tready hand and you can cut that with a jigsaw using a fine tooth metal blade. Then if it's a little off, you can smooth it out on the bench grinder. I did the same thing. Loaded it in a vice and hit it with the jigsaw. Pretty smooth. Some have used a cut off wheel in a drill press, but I used the jig. BTW, nice start. Late Ty.

Yeah I had a practice go on another one came out a little curvy. I still need to braze some link tabs and all that stuff before i cut it in half.

Some progress. Was going to braze the whole build but I only have a propane torch and takes forever so I'm using flux core now -____________-
