So step one in our fabrication of this system was to get some high grade bolts and cut the heads off of them. I set my band saw up to cut this as I set up the rest of the project due to the time it can take to cut through high grade steel. |

Here is the result of our cutting. One tip I have is to thread the nut onto the bolt for cutting. This does two things; it protects the threads of the bolt from damage from the vice and also keeps everything square during the cut. |
|
So here is our overkill welding. I drilled a hole in the middle of the length of the bolt in the pipe so I could build a plug of steel up for some added strength and then welded the hell out of it. I chose to use a gasless wire as it gets a slightly deeper weld but creates a lot of spatter. |

Here is the frame all clamped together. As you can see the construction is extremely simple and makes the welding simple as well. |
