    Those plates look really good, but they look thick. What is the gauge of the steel on the plates?

    Did the same guy do the end plates as well? And if so how much did he charge?

    Did you cut out the gaskets yourself?

    Plates are 16 Ga. I cut the end plates myself. And yes I also cut the gaskets myself. I could use some practice at the gasket cutting. I seem to know my way around a milling machine better then the end of a utility knife.
    The plates were laser cut. HTe quality seems exceptional to me.
    THe bulkheads I cut out of 3/4" UHMW that I have around the shop.
    The gaskets are .060" rubber roofing. THey were scraps that my brother had from a job.

    You did an excellent job on those end plates.
