this is the way I would do it
you will find that most sparky's are more than happy to come out and have a look at what you want to do
make sure you can tell them what you would like to run in your shed and they will let you know your best option
just make sure you let them know that you would like to do the grunt work before you call them out
I like it but for some reason I like it more when the bottom long piece points right
But then again that's just me
haha only just seen the leaf
make it movable please everyone
that's what they are called here but apparently everywhere else they are called a hand spear
according to google this is a common name for a pet
maybe if I had a cat
you can get the rubber at any good fishing shop
fashion the ends of the ging like this
and use something like this to attach the patch
and fasten with a wrap and knot of cord
Aerates the ferric acid
seems to make it work better
ferric acid is also used to clean up profile cut pieces and is reported to work better when aerated
I suppose it moves the liquid around
Wow for some reason I keep thinking "Guy Fawkes"
but then I remember back when I was 14 and built a sorta lean too for my push bikes
probably looked like that but I have fonder memories of it
please keep us posted would like to see it finished and some nice work coming out of it

Ausfire use cast rods when welding cast to steel
daswulf you had some scanners that were just all flat like they were punched outta plate ,do you think that you could make them look like the drop forged ones easily
Went looking and found this

not getting into the argument was only looking for heat transfer rates for water and found this article
Glad I'm not a rat though
If you forge balls on the end you can use jelly rubber like used on gidgies
then use a piece of cord on the other end tied through a bead to attach your patch
because the jelly rubber is hollow you push it over the bead/balls and secure it with another piece of cord like a hose clamp
normally using a leather patch about the size of a belt buckle ( not a Texas one) to hold your shot
those crosses look awesome ausfire
sounds like you just threw a challenge out there regarding getting a metre out of a spike
pics or it didn't happen please people
those two crosses on the right have really kept there patina and look great

That is such a nice piece
nothing overlooked and lines that just flow
the detail is amazing in every way
a true WORK of art
it would be a shame to see it leave the shed, one must get attached to a piece like this
Well if it's just starting to grow, I would be watchful. I hear the way things go, the higher the post count, the more glorious the neck beard...
a gem from Exo313
Cracked me up but so true
No one mention SS
I would get the base machined flat
and then drill it and tap it and put two or three large (1") studs into it
I would then find some UC and weld a base plate and top plate to the UC after working out what height you want it
then the anvil can be bolted to the UC and the UC to the floor
and then tool holders can be welded to the UC
