But using the C Channel the way you have, you've employed the same mechanical advantages of an RSJ. That thing ain't going nowhere!

You've overcome a major situation problem of yours in a very neat manner. And I like how you've fitted it out to handle some wiring.

Sensational piece, Stephen.
Thanks Alexander. Methinks aluminium next time. Almost had a hernia moving it into position!!

I like the sentiment on software....KISS is where I'm at right now!

Thanks Matthew. I used the project as an excuse to buy a gasless mig welder (always wanted one) and did it myself. Learnt a lesson though. Don't buy cheap wire from ebay. The professional stuff works better.
