Fabrication Steps

You will be torching the holes and welding the tab for the secondary cylinder during the final assembly of the machine.

See Leg Holders

1. Plase the leg holders in their proper locations (two at each end, and two 12" away from the end) and weld them in place, insuring they are square with the angle iron.
   • You may want to weld them so the nut is facing sideways instead of straight out, this way the bolts don't stick out any more from the machine. (They like to catch your clothing as you walk by)
2. Put bolts in the outside leg holders on each arm.

This is saved for later, during the assembly of the machine:

1. 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.
2. Torch thru the holes on the primary arms to make two 3/4" holes on each secondary arm.
3. Clean up the torch slag with an angle grinder.
