i start my build this weekend. I would be doing better if I measured twice and cut once. Atleast my bad cuts could be used for shorter pieces.

I know what you mean...I've cut this damned piece four times, and it's STILL too short! :oops:

On really complex compound angles I left mine a little long and trimmed as needed with the grinder. Also don't forget to bevel the edges to help those welds penetrate. I recut my share of tubes as well and I feel your pain. I started out with a hacksaw but recently bought a HF chop saw that I'm now quite fond of.

Congratulations! Feel free to post the pictures on this forum for us to see. Many of us can't view your pictures on facebook. It would be good to see your progress.

Just a link to Facebook still won't let you see the pics. You have to join and sign in to see the pics.

For whatever reason Facebook doesn't like me. I've joined and I can't get past the start up page. Even my kids have tried and nothing gets me beyond there.
