KinkyCrafter 20080505 – Steel spreader bar
For this weeks craft segment I decided to go with a steel spreader bar:
Tools and supplies used:
1″ square steel tubing with 1/8″ walls, clamped in place:
Cut to 30″ with a hacksaw:
End marked for drilling:
Progression of drill bit sizes used for easy drilling:
Initial guide hole drilled:
Final hole drilled:
Open eye bolts bolted in place. Use Closed drop forged eye bolts if spreader bar is to be used for any load bearing purposes such as suspension:
A dremel tool or angle grinder can be used to smoth off edges and corners to make them safer to work with:
Any questions?
