I hook mine on the bucket over the tongue jack. Bucket protects the electric jack from sun damage. Chains keep the bucket on. Also would protect the plastic handle on a manual jack. Bucket gets replaced every 3-5 years. Not my set up pictured but same concept.

Didn't happen to find my USA Craftsman 1980's 3/8" combo wrench did you?

Played with the plasma cutter. Cut out the basic shape "half moon" for my offset smoker, scoop to push the heat up. Also played around with sheetmetal cutting.

This is my thought Pull up a paver one on each side. Install anchor with SS cable coming up through paver joint. Hopefully enough space. Use a clip so they can be removed.

I'll check if I still have the box, maybe his address is on it. He may not be alive though, hate to think where all those parts he had went if he passed.

I don't know if I could find him again. There is/was a guy in OH north of Columbus going towards Dayton, he bought up all their inventory. He had truckloads of Drill press, lathe and other Delta machinery. I found an ad on the vintage machinery forum. Someone posted it for him. He only did...

This was it.

Yup that was it.

Watched that YT video last night. Also saw another where they bolted a 27" and 42" together no mods came with bolts and holes were already there. Just took off the fixed wheels off the 24" box so (4) casters and (2) fixed. Handles on both sides. Plus it was $800 less than a 72"

It may have been, It's been several years, and I ordered it online to be shipped to his house. He is 10hrs away. I checked a couple local big box stores to actually hold them, after looking at weight and cost. Plus ergonomics (he has Rheumatoid arthritis) were all my main concerns not Voltage.
