I also started in on making the second POL container. The shop did a great job of bending up all the 1/8” plate for me. I basically just dressed the very sharp sheared edges and welded it up to match where the original welds were found. One interesting point was when I used a block of wood to clamp one of angles in place. All went well and the angle was welded in place. It was then that I realized there was no way to get the block out. After a few minutes of head scratching I remembered my chisel. It was all split up in no time.
