At the hotel/motel at Muckadilla Q. there are two seats out the front.

One is the seat of knowledge

the other is 

the seat of bull****.

The beauty is with this forum you can chose which seat you prefer.

Me I prefer both seats, as there is a lot of knowledge in both.

Welcome to the forum

Thank You JayDee
as with all things you must decide how much

the balance then life can be good.

A very nice job.

The use of rivets makes me think you don't have a welder: how did you attach the legs?

legs have endcaps that screw on. ones on bottom are welded
so the legs can screw off for transport
I used bolts for hinge this gave a bit of slack to line it up
I then did a spot weld on the nuts to lock in place
cheers Mark
