My grandmother used to say, "only fools and children comment on half done work".

Pretty silly statement to trot out when one posts half done work on one's blog. But still...

The open ends of the box section will be closed by welded plugs. I'm still not sure if I will trim back the arm to the upright. Maybe leaving it extended will have a purpose that I haven't thought of. No, I don't think a hi lift jack can worn there.

Yeah, it is pretty industrial looking, but isn't that always in style?
