The fabrication steps of the leg holders

You will need 14 of these per machine. They are required for Arms - secondary (8), Feet(4), Frame with main cylinder (2)

Tools Required:

  • Torch
  • Welder
  • Grinder

Materials Required:

  • 2 1/2” x 2 1/2" x 3/16" thick square steel tubing – 6” long (1)
  • 3/4” nut (1)
  • 3/4” x 1.5” bolt (1)

Fabrication Instructions:

  1. Torch a 3/4” hole in the center of one of the faces of the tubing; make sure it's large enough for a 3/4” bolt.
  2. Weld the nut over the hole, ensuring the nut is level, and the hole is clear. Make sure no spatter goes into the threads by covering the top of the nut.
  3. Thread the bolt into the nut.
