The last couple days were brutal because of the heat and humidity in the shop, as I was continue to weld on this project. I made myself a little fixture to help me hold the shelf supports in place for welding, and it worked pretty slick! Here are more pictures!
Here is the little fixture I made to hold the 1″ square tubing in place perfectly vertical for welding.
The nuts and bolts allow for vertical adjustment to ensure consistent squareness.
Here is a piece of tubing clamped into the jig.
A picture of the whole setup with my fume extractor doing a great job!
Another view!
My pipe stand supported the 12′ posts on each side of the table.
Clamping and welding a small support bracket in place.
The bolts above the suport bracket are welded from the back side.
Another view with all the leveler legs in place.
All of it fit nicely on a large pallet, which makes it easy to move it around the shop and getting it ready for shipping at some point!
