Tacking



I scorched and polished one of the back rests. There is one of the off cuts from the slabs under it here to get an idea of height. The other set of legs is on the table behind. I marked a circle on a sheet of steel and then marked points on it 72 degrees apart to indicate where the five small sections of pipe that house the rods for the casters would go. Then I tack welded those onto the sheet and drew chalk lines for the central hub and legs. I put a little support piece under the center and cut the lower rank of bent square pipe pieces to shape and tacked them onto each other and the little fringe of caster holders. Next I tacked in the hub and finally cut the top rank of leg struts.
There is still a lot to do.
