Made from 2" square tubing leftover from a fence build and some 1 X 2 angle, and a gluelam cutoff pulled from a job site dumpster. I have some plastic caps for the feet. Plan to leave it bare steel with clear coat. Decided to keep the swirl marks left by the flap disc but for the future anyone know the best way to end up with a high polish, no swirls marks?Last edited by bigb; 10-22-2014 at 10:07 PM.Miller Challenger 172Miller Thunderbolt AC/DC 225/150Miller Maxstar 150 STLVictor 100CVictor JourneymanOxweld OAHarris O/ASmith O/A little torchNo, that's not my car.
Reply:I like it.You would have to sand it with finer and finer grit sandpaper until you got to something that couldn't scratch it (probably 2000). Then buff it with compound. Other guys may know of a better/easier way.GravelThe difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference.

Reply:Originally Posted by bigbA lot more time than it's worth! The tubing was rusty and the angle was painted so sanding, cutting welding etc about a day and a half but then I ended up applying about 15 coats of polyurethane to the wood, trying to fill the cracks and holes. Sanded between each coat.
