Next I made the upright hinge pieces. Not to complicated, but I managed to screw them up by drilling them to 3/8" instead of tapping them to 3/8-24. That stuff happens when you work too long and too late.
So I made them twice. I guess practice makes perfect!
I made a quick jig to hold them aligned while I tacked them to the bottom part. Just a piece of 3/4" square tubing and 5/16" all-thread. Working by myself means I spend as much time figuring out how to hold things as I do actually building. Vise-grips rule!!
At this point I haven't finish weld anything on the brackets. I wanted to make sure it would work first.
