David Kailey Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 So a lot of the railings and gates I build need to be light or trying to meet a budget. So I use a lot of tube for pickets. but I still need to add twists, baskets and other decorative elements to the pickets. I use to use angle iron as my jig to keep everything straight but I always had to make a new jig and I was constantly having to clean out welding bb's and accidentally tacing the picket to the jig....... they worked but were a pain. with this jig I can set my stands where they need to be and I have clearance to weld, never have bb's settling in the jig where my steel lays, can weld pickets from 12" to 9ft. I build 1/2'" and 3/4" stands. I used a piece of 3" x 1.25" x 1/4" channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Pretty slick, David. It also serves as a go/nogo gauge. Thanks for sharing. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
