Weld sections together with the tig welder in the engineering laboratory. Reference the print for proper layout and positioning. Weld the flat stock according to the print for added strength and stability. Grind off excess welding and debur sharp edges Clean metal with alcohol. Paint frame black.
Paint is to prevent rust.
The project was successfully launched after approval from John Farris in January. I feel that the project exceeds my own expectations. There has even been an offer of sale while the stand was in use. The stability of the stand was an important factor in the design. There have been two design changes since the first preliminary drawings.
