So I got a mild steel sheet 300mm * 300mm * 7mm, for $5 to act as the base for the mount...
Any idea how hard, noisy and costly it is to drive 6 * 20mm holes in 7mm plate steel? $55 for the drill bit and $105 (discount for a new 710 watt drill) as the tines on the old (high quality, 550 Watt Bosche drill) chuck slip with the amount of torque need to cut through!
One hole drilled, five to go, thank goodness for ear plugs!
