Working from Drawings: A Challenge

I thought this might be a fun thing to try. My work of late requires that I produce part drawings that are given to the vendors that produce our parts and, since 488 uses a nearly paperless process during the season, my skills are a bit rusty.

That said, I thought it might be fun for y'all to learn to read drawings and model parts based on them while giving me a great opportunity to learn where and how I can be more explicit so the parts come back from the vendors built correctly. So, I guess the idea here is that I'll attach drawings to this thread every now and again and, if you're interested, I'd like for you to create a model based only on that drawing.

Sounds fun? Maybe only if you're a giant dork, but I'm a pretty giant dork, so.

Round One: 18GA Steel sheet metal part.
