Typically I take a few pix of work in progress, but Atelier Gugie is backed up a bit, and I neglected to do so. When I took this on, I thought it would the same job as I did for [MENTION=73614]rhm[/MENTION] not too long ago - a mod to this style:


. That was pretty easy, I had the desired measurement, and just added a longer stay, pinched off the end in my vise, silvered the end and drilled a hole in each stay, then trimmed it and spliced it together with an internal piece.

This rack used the cantilever attachment style, so I had to save the end pieces, and splice a section in the middle. Here's the original rack:



Since the rack had already been bent a bit to try and make it work (argh, I feel for you Mark!), getting a square cut was difficult, but manageable. I had promised a "can't tell from a few feet away" fix, the double brazes on each end made me worry that it wouldn't be quite as good as advertised.

Customer happy, I'm happy!
