    I searched and didn't find much on how to make Wireform or Habitrail ramps.

    I am not an expert on welding. The experience I had was 30x years ago when they had shop classes in High school.
    That said I am curious on the best practices and basics of doing this.

    I probably missed an youtube video and couldn't find the pinside topic but would love to see how this is done.

    Anyone have any experience doing this. Can I get by on a minimal setup?

    Are you doing a custom build or are you trying to replace missing wireforms and habitrails?

    Quoted from bluespin:

    Custom build is the big plan. Hopefully get some time to experiment with this. Making the vacuum formed plastic ramps is just to space intensive for me.
    So the metal / wireform approach may be the way for me to go.

    I'm looking into making stainless steel to fit my Elvira's House of Horrors. I will tig weld the parts together.
