My little fab job

[ETC57]

Went camping for the week of the 4th, but needed to fix up some new steps for the camper first. I had some folding steps but by them self they were to short, so I went to the scrap been and got started.
           
First some brackets welded to the bumper for mounting to.
       
Next some risers to weld a step to and hang the folding steps from.
       
Sorry didn't get pics of the forming of the step but with no metal brake, it was a sharp steel table edge some heat, clamps, a piece of angle iron and a hammer.

I then drilled some holes in the step to spot weld it to the risers.

Now I have a set of steps for the camper that are safe and easy to use.

The best part is it all comes off with four bolts!

Nice job on forming that channel by hand Jerry!

How come you didn't use diamond plate for that top step?
