Had epic dreams of using the oxy at work to bend it all into shape, ended up just slicing it up into sections and welding it. Not one side is at the same angle, but that’s normal for me  Will take my time welding it now to avoid taking all the temper out the hardox, and will cut the base plate to suit it after that.

Shell welded up completely, base plate cut out and hammer press fitted inside the shell. Will weld in some tabs to bolt the base to the shell tomorrow. Will mount the internals during the week and move onto wiring it up
