Ok then. Back to work it is. Here is what has been done lately.
I found some 5.75" ID tube at the local scrap yard in their resale area. I bought a foot of it for a couple bucks. Made 2 1" pieces to use for a home brewed lower coil bucket assembly, along with some 1/4" flat plate for the base. Cut the base material with the plasma cutter.
Welded up
The bottom was fully welded in stages, so that it didn't get too hot.
Next I cut some angle iron to use for retainers.
Finally, using the drill press to drill the bolt holes.
Painted and installed
