Putting It All Together
- first cut the crib board in half, sanded both edges round.
- then took a 7/8 wrench, cut it by both ends taking a 2.5" section out, which is used for the base of the stand.weld both ends back togeth making a shorter wrench
- take two other wrenches and cut them 3/4" from the open end. and tac weld them onto the wrench up at 90 degrees
- Drill all the neccasary holes needed for the bolts i.e. two at the back. one in the centre, one for the spring one for the front base plate and two for the front legs
- make wire hookup tabs using nuts and bolts and welding and grinding
Adding Sugru and Fineshing Up
- add sugru in lock nut washers
- add additional bolts for decoration
- screw bolts into fron leg holes from underneith
- weld three washers together to join a wire tab to the main pedal
- connect other wire tab to front baseplate with a wire and cover with sugru
