AlexAndChristine > I don't have a file with a half inch diameter, so I thought I'd try mitering on the lathe. I also don't have a hole saw, so I did it with drill bits. The tubing is secured in the lathe toolpost and I drilled the hole out to half an inch.
AlexAndChristine > Final pass with the 1/2" drill bit. It miters done this way were rough and required cleanup, I went back to just using a combo of a 12" round file and a 6" half-round file.
AlexAndChristine > Bolt support insert brazed
AlexAndChristine > Bolt support insert filed flush with the support bar
AlexAndChristine > Everything dryfit to test. There is the support bar, a pillow block (not really the right use of the term), and finally the rack tubing.
AlexAndChristine > Another photo of the dry fit pieces.
AlexAndChristine > Pillow block brazed onto the rack stay.
AlexAndChristine > Rack perimeter bent and brazed. It is 18" by 20".
AlexAndChristine > The first couple cross pieces have been brazed into the rack
