Dang I thought this was about building a final project and it being free (being in welding school and building a front bumper and working on my rear bumper and tire swing, I know how big that is), not having a pissing contest. As long as he knows what he wants his measurements to be and uses cardboard to mock it up like suggested to make sure it looks exactly how he likes, who cares what his sketches look like or what program he used and what the program is "for"...

Uf Dah, this thread has a lot going on... I'm a welder not an engineer or drafter. I dont like drawing or drafting. I just weld what needs to welded.
Got the steel yesterday gonna start cutting on monday pics to follow.

Hank,
So where does it say NTS?
Maybe it had said Not To Scale wouldn't have confused Bruce?
"On a windows program"? You sir dont know what you are talking about. That is Google SketchUp, that is an ARCHITECTURAL program.
Welding prints are different, but mechanical drawings are pretty similar. Pretty sure a lot of them use that program called...um oh yeah CAD
Plus personally I would rather have someone else point out stuff I could do differently or a little better rather than my teacher. Let alone if they mark off points cause of it. Secondly if I was his teacher and saw that he did that and no one else did I might be will helping to help him more than everyone else.
My whole post was go give Bilknutz some advice and really talk to Bruce about it...kinda why I quoted him and not Bilknutz original post. And the only reason I said architectural student was because I know what Im talking about not blowing smoke out of my ***. No where in my post was I attacking Bilknutz or being a douche bag like you. So why do you take your tiny ***** syndrome some where else, unless you have some actually constructive information to add.

If you draw it you want it to look right, no? The way it's drawn implies that it would be a low profile, small, good looking bumper. The numbers tell me it's going to be huge!
I mean, I understand if that's the best you can do but I feel like if it's going to be done then go the extra 2 feet and do it right.
Other than that, it looks great. I sure wish someone could pay for the steel I use.
If the drawings were correct there'd be no boxes would need to be broken down in the making of this bumper.

Get the looks right, then measure the dimensions you'll need to get that look.
