Overview
Part one of a DIY series showing how a professional welder built quick-attach pallet forks for his BX23S using 5-inch C-channel stock. He walks through the cuts, notching, and tack-welding that form the frame, with specific dimensions like the 44.5-inch rail length. It's rough and in-progress, no finished forks or loader test here, but useful for anyone considering a budget homemade fork build.
The creator states he is a full-time professional welder, so fabrication advice carries real-world credibility, though the channel appears to be a personal hobby/project outlet rather than a tractor-focused resource.
