paddyob is on a distinguished road
Default I am
Actually I am a structural steel fitter/fabricator.....


But I guess I am concerned about drilling a stand with weight on it..... could this not potentially cause a stress point where "flex" could occur... and possibly give under the pressure?

If it is safe to drill holes without taking the stand apart.... this I could do in a heart beat.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
