Hey guys,
I bought an ARC D-115 about 8 months ago, but it unfortunately came without a tube cage. So last night I decided build a DIY cage and i think it came out pretty great. Just wanted to show it off, check it out:

Agree, that looks great Adam. Where did you source the perf sheet metal from?

It was scrap from my brother's work : ) Freebie. It's coated aluminum of some sort. If anyone is in need I'll tell him to keep a look out for more.

Yes, that looks great. I suspect we'd all have use for a sheet or two.

I would have to agree, looks really nice. Great job.

Thanks a bunch guys, I will have my brother keep an eye out

That's a very nice looking cage. Nice crisp bends. If I may add one comment....keep an eye on the internal temperature. Tubes need to breath a bit. If the top gets too hot to put your hand on it I would be concerned.

The workmanship looks very professional. Congrats on a stellar job!

Thanx schwarcw and ataudio. I thought about that too and will most likely remove the cage during use. I may even put a little fan on my equip rack to circulate air

Or bolt one right to the cage.
