Hi all,
Just joined the forum and did a search on "third hand" with no apparent results so I thought I'd put one up myself...I just made it up tonight.
It's All stainless,the pipes about 60mm OD x 8mm thick(apologies to those who haven't converted yet
)so plenty of weight in it...now all I need to do is find a use for the other 9 metres
In case you're wondering,the washer is for demonstration purposes only...

Holy cow! Looks like you spent some time on that weld buildup, what is it?

You mean the aluminum? I was just playing with the pulse feature. I had never used it before and I thought I'd give it a try. I had some free time and I was board.

These "weights" come in various sizes, 4lb seems about right. Cheap, but very hard to drill, 30 seconds with Tig torch on DC solves that.

I love it! They look like little creatures that want to walk off, reproduce on their own and take over. LOL!
