Functional Art
After completing my 1st custom Giro-z Bridge I was given the opportunity to manufacturer an improved version I learned a lot of fabrication lessons on mine that will hopefully make this one easier to build and perfect right out of the gate.
First build
To begin with, I order 90% of this stuff from Amazon simply because it was more cost efficient. I'm sure i could source these materials locally but the enormous amount of time i spent attempting this the 1st time has led me to Amazon where you can buy just about everything, competitive pricing and free shipping for Prime members. I will update this materials list as they are purchased.
