Default Basket

I made a quick cheap basket. Get your expanded metal from most large hardwear stores or metal fab. shops. Get some 1/4 in. bolts,nuts and flat washers for sides. Get 4, 1/2 in. bolts, flat washers and nuts for the legs, 4 inches long at least. Draw it out on paper so you dont make any costly mistakes. When you decide how wide and how tall, cut a peice that will be the two sides and the bottom, bend it twice for those three sides. Cut two more pieces, add two inches for the sides, one inch for the bottom on each one. Make those bends and bolt the thing together. Wah-La... If not you can go with the round style as stated in one of the other posts. If you go to the metal fab shop, Im sure they would shear the expanded metal for you, even the bends can be done there. I'll post a couple of pics...... Rez
