OK, this is where I'm at right now. The height is 14". The total side length is 18", with 2 or 3" on the backside and that would leave about 15 or 16" depth in the box. I haven't welded it up so I have time to change my mind. The width is 46", that was the largest piece of steel I could find ( I did some horse trading, two used tires and $10 for a piece of 38 x 46 x 3/8" diamond plate,
) I am having doubts on the weight though. I have figured everything and it looks like it's going to weigh in around 180-200 lbs. Oh well, if it's to much for the cub I can sell it.
I am going to make a cutting edge out of 3/8 flat stock. I will set it at 20 degrees and use welds in place of bolts to hold it in place, I can always cut a weld to lower it. My choice for cutting blades comes down to $$$, a 48" cutting blade is running $60 a piece and i need two. This is a low budget project plus I seriously doubt I will wear out a piece of 3/8 with what I will be doing with it.
Here are some pics, more to come as I progress. I ran out of oxygen and acetylene so can't finish cuts until I get a refill.
