Bar Clamps Build Process

14/5/2021

Fitting the tops was a relatively straightforward process, although I had to skim a little bit of the top of some of the backs with a flap disc in an angle grinder: I think I'd cut the tops slightly longer than originally planned so they overlap with the back rather than butting up against them.

The exact position of the top pieces really isn't that important, so I held them in place with one hand while tacking one corner (without filler rod).

I could then tack the opposite corner and then weld round the three sides.

Rinse and repeat.
