Fabrication Steps

see Leg Holders

  1. Clamp the leg holders in their proper locations (two at each end, and two 12" away from the end) and weld them in place.
  2. Clamp one angle iron arm to each side of the primary arms, the 6" side to the underside of the primary arms, with the 4" side facing outwards from the assembly.
  3. Torch thru the holes on the primary arms to make two 3/4" holes on each secondary arm.
  4. Clean up the torch slag with an angle grinder.
