OK, not so much riding them as hunched over all day welding them.
You have to be careful welding thin stuff, because the only thing keep it from distorting as you weld along it is its own weight at the ends.
This was number two of four. I finished the third one and a corner section on Saturday and will likely finish number four and the hand rails today. Then the fun part of having to get these 22 to 25 ft long sections out through a 20ft wide door on a forklift.
