COMPONENTS FOR WELDING JIG
I'm trying to post something every week or so. It doesn't look like much yet but here's where I am with the welding jig.
To recap briefly, I'm building a jig to make another swing frame, correcting a couple of imperfections, and having a little different adjustment than the first. The jig will be used by the welder to keep all pieces straight and square.
The platform for the jig is made from birch plywood. It is more stable and flat than common plywood. Holes have been cut where the welder will tack the frame together, just enough to hold the pieces in the proper shape. The frame will then be removed from the jig for final welding .

With just a few more things to work out, I'll be putting it all together. The parts will make more sense then and I can explain more easily. I'll post those pictures soon.
