Didn't think the factory guard complimented the stylish DK40 so I made one with a few curves,I'll post a few pics....Mike

Very nice work. How did you cut out the 3 sculptured pieces?

Thanks Jack, My original plan was to have my son plasma cut the 3/8" stock but,he was out of town and I was getting antsy.
So I cut the pieces using 6" waffer wheels on a 4" angle grinder and a sawsall.
Only a retired guy(with lots of time) would use this Flintstone approach.............Mike

That brush guard is awesome. You could sell those! Considering the time it probably took you to make it, I don't know if you could make any money [img]/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif[/img] , but I definately would buy one.

Mike,
Are you interested in selling them commercially????
I am a Kioti dealer and would be interested in a couple.

Thanks for the kind words guys,I'm going to talk to my bro- in-law who has more experience in fabrication work,I'm more of a one-off guy.
Building them like I did this one would make them too expensive for most.
I'll let you know what I find out from him.........Mike
