sure did. he really likes the ones I make and having his name on the side.
1/4" material. just pull it around and tack as you go. for these smaller machine buckets 120size or less I use mild for the bucket shell. t1 for the mold bar and side cutters. AR for the wear bars. that bucket is 4ft for a yanmar 100, takes about 4hrs to fit and weld out after everything is cut.
when doing repairs on the real big bucket t1/ AR, liners/ shells many are surprised how much you can get them to form, but if I don't think I can get it to move enough I will send them out with a pattern to bump brake form them.
I don't have a pic of that one, but here is the same thing starting for a 30 size 3ft bucket.
