Well maybe it's not sexy but it is definitely a red beast. All 120kg of it!! I couldn't resist the massive scrap pipe for $100 so I grabbed it. That alone added 20+kgs to the weight. Made a couple of stuff ups. The holes in the bottom plate were not big enough to fit the concrete drill through for the 16mm anchor bolts so had to down size to 12mm. The bottom pier plate suffered from a little warping at the corners. I suspect this was because of the original instructions “not to spot weld but to continuous weld only” so the instructions have been changed to spot weld then continuous weld. May be a welding expert would like to comment on this. Total cost .. about $900.
Plans are attached for anyone to print out and modify to suit.
Cheers
