***IMPORTANT NOTE***
PLEASE read the instructions through AT LEAST once and study the pictures before beginning, in order to get a clearer understanding of the process...You'll be glad you did... Get the pieces as close in length as possible to one another---Precision is the key to the entire assembly. The best route is to study the photos, and mark out where you need to cut or drill---DOUBLE CHECK to make sure it looks right---then cut or drill. The old adage goes, “measure twice, cut once”…Unless noted, hole measurements are center-to-center, I.E. the measurement between holes is from the center point of one hole to the center-point of the other.
First, cut the 1" aluminum tubing into (4) 18" pieces ("Bones"), (2) 4" pieces("Joints"), and (2) 3" pieces ("Vest Mounts"). Clean edges with Dremel and/or metal file.
Cut the 1 1/2" tubing into (4) 6" pieces. Then CAREFULLY, using bandsaw (or even the Dremel, which is more time consuming) cut one side out to make 1 1/2" deepwall channel. The piece still needs to be 1 ½” on all sides, however. Clean edges.
