Alec.S Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Here is my second praying man...The attachments to the base were done by drilling a 5mm (5/16 to you) hole in the legs and the base...I then got some 5mm round, cut it off at about an inch and 1/2 and inserted the two into their designated holes.......after a while of tricky maneuvering around the anvil and vice....i managed to rivet the top......at the bottom of the base... i had countersunk the holes.then, i cut off the rod at the base so it was flush with the base and, welded at high amperage in the countersunk hole that had the rod in....then it was a job for the new angle grinder to make it pretty.... after 5 mins with a flap disc and 2 on the wire wheel........ this was left ! p.s. sorry if my explanation didn't seem easy to understand ! alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
