Hi Group --- Here's a coupla' more pix showing how the legs are now "fleshed out". I like to work out the form using 1/4" pencil rod, or smooth rod. They were all hammered into shape.

And for Sheri...you were asking about the rust converter, so I included a couple of shots that show what it looks like going on (purple), and when cured (black). It wastes a fair amount, but these days I spray it on to save time. Took about a quart & a half to do the whole frame ($15 @ $10 a quart).

I will start the "wire work" tomorrow and try to take a few more pix as that progresses.

All My Best --- Tango
