Wallah, here's the finished welded form and the unit is ready for a date at the Barbers with a file to round the edges and bring that factory stamped look. Mounting holes will be carefully measured and drilled out soon, that in itself should shed off an ounce,LOL.
By the way, this fiasco shredded 2-1/2 Lbs all together weighing 1-1/2 Lbs compared to the factory unit which weighed 4.3 Lbs.
