Pier for CG5

Here we have it from start to finish.

Cost: $ 38.80 ( I already had most of the steel, Lester contributed the top plates & bolts...the bartering system )

The RHS is 100X5mm: with only 750mm above ground, this will be ok.

No more moving the damn tripod in & out for me!

Testing will commence tomorrow night & if it needs no alterations, I will top coat it.
