And Again...

I spent another day reinventing yet a different wheel today... It seems to be an almost patented process at this shop...

I was welding leg assemblies from aluminum pipe... Nothing really special there... The annoying part was I had to weld 1/2" square plates on the bottom of each leg that had been drilled and tapped to accept a leveling foot... One of the guys I usually hire in my shop had spent a ton of time cutting, drilling, and tapping those plates...

Various supply catalogs sell inserts that simply slide in to the open bottom of pipe to accept the foot... They're pretty cheap...

Yet another chunk of wasted time...
