So I pushed myself to start clearing the garage so I can set up the new tig set up , so I've started to make a three legged stool.
my temporary bench will be 850mm high so I need to decide the height for the stool . So here goes. An old wind up jack from the car boot for a quid.
did I say it was going to be height adjustable. there going to be some metal butchery going on so if your sensitive read no further , youv'e been warned !
I couldn't get the cog to budge so I welded the saddle and set to with heat and a hammer
and it was loose. it's going to give me about 110mm of adjustment
next some 6mm plate ( overkill but it was out me scrap pile I've savin up ) cut ( cordless grinder and cuuting disc ) drilled and counter sunk a plate for the seat using me pillar drill for the first time so much easier than using a cordless.
next drill out a plate to put the cog in and cut three lats at 120
to be continued
