Hey guys, Just a lil' sumpn' sumpn'. I don't know if anybody else has tried it yet, but instead of opting for a boyscout pack frame, I went to a local farm supply here in Indiana (Rural King) and bought a piece of about 4' aluminum pipe, and took a bernzomatic to it.( propane torch) I heated each bend, then after I got what I wanted it, cooled it with water, then moved on. I am also opting on not using bolts, as wherever you put your washer it will cause stress, and use really long plastic wire ties. I know there will be stress there too, but at least it will be plastic on plastic. There are only a few things like the exhaust port, that I'm going to bolt. I think I'm going to do this with the mortar tube too. Any feedback as maybe why not too? Thanks guys! Dallas TK6421

Hello guys! I'm new, and not even in mepd YET, but couldn't you use brass waterline- say 3/4 inch to make the frame? You could then solder-sweat the lines together, and that pipe would bend easy with a lil' heat from a propane torch. I looked at all this stuff at Lowe's last night. Any thoughts?? TK6421 Dallas

Helo all!!!! I will finally be applying for deployment with you all! I am almost done with my armor--hopefully be painted completly tomorrow! This was my second set of armor-it went alot faster! Mel, lemme know when you have what we talked about at the last meeting!!

Mike-everyone has already said it. I followed almost all of your links just to get my TK going. I am getting my second set to go TD and I'm sure I'll be browsing it again! Thank you very much!! TK6421

Again, I thank you guys! Your awsome! I'm sure I'll be bugg'n yous guys!! Thanx again!!

Wow guys! Thanks alot! I have been posting everywhere and no one has helped me. Thanx again. I would like to have one armor for TD and one clean. I really like them both, and it would be hard to decide one or the other. Thanx again guys!!!

Hello all! I'm already a TK, but I am going to go TD. Can anyone pm me on a FX contact? The one I am talking to is about $60 cheaper than what I can find on Ebay. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance!
