Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-26-26
The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

The J bolt, spacer, and knob are done. All that's left is the pattern for the hole in the bracket that it goes through and it should be done.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I can't see the forest for the trees.

We got the jig finished for lining up the parts that make up the main body piece today. 
Here it is in the rough and finished, the last 2 pics are the finished jig.

We made a few today and they came out perfect.
Pic 1, the jig and parts.
Pic 2, the pipe on the jig.
Pic 3, the mount on the jig.
Pic 4, how its done. The bottom gets welded, then the part slides off of the rod, then weld the top. It's a perfect angle and height every time.

The J bolts, regular bolts and lock nuts came in today. Getting ready to add some threads to the J bolts now. The knobs should be here in a day or two and that will be it.

We ran into a snag last night. Seems the J bolts were not cut with a die but done with a thread rolling machine which means the shaft was smaller than the threads. When we tried to cut more threads there wasn't enough material there to get a good bite.
After pulling my hair out (cause this project was gonna be finished last night) I thought this morning about using carriage bolts and making my own J bolt. Went to Fastenal and picked up some 9" grade 5 carriage bolts with more than enough threads, then went to the welding shop. They told me the iron worker wouldn't make the bend I needed with just 1" or so of the end sticking out so I made a jig to set in the iron worker to do it with. They are really great about letting me do stuff like that down there. All it cost me was time and now they can do stuff like this too, win win lol.
I guess this one is wrapped up, except for making more and getting them in the store.
