Re: pic: One piece sheet metal chassis concept
It's a neat idea, but part of the "hard" part of good design is taking into account fabrication and assembly methods (as mentioned above, bolt holes you can't get a wrench anywhere near are bad...bends you can't make on a break are bad...)
So it's neat, and I'm sure it's a fun exercise...but a true test would be to make a chassis you like just as much, but that is easy to fabricate, assemble, and maintain!
