Swings

admin

These are from an old food stand on the canal.  The owner asked me to fix them.  These are not the only ones.  Here I stuck a 1 1/4" pipe through until it came out his Cut the tail down to the good stuffI trimmed all pipe, and welded both sides of the front pipe to the 1/14".  Galvanized kept coming out from the inside of the pipe.  I know I had it hot enough.
