Well I was hoping to have some good stuff to show you guys tonight. I had a mock Bush guard made up out of cardboard and plywood.

Was happy with fitment and shape. Went to go trace it onto my real guard and get it ready for cutting.
None of my lines lined up and it just didn't add up to what it was supposed to.

Another wasted afternoon

Still have half my supplies left for building the mock guard. Hopefully I'll have more success tomorrow.

yea, when i drew mine on cardboard it was kinda just so i had an idea of what i wanted.
When we went through and bent the bar and stuff we just measured it all on the fly and it turned out pretty good...one of the bottoms is a little off straight down but you can only tell if you actually look at it

Hah well I'm modifying not creating so I gotta make sure my mock one matches the real one where it was meant to.
Cause somehow it matched where I thought I'd cut back and my unmodified parts were going where it looked like "Cut this off"

Hopefully I'll have better success tonight.
