  • Weld the angle together to make the frame. The short pieces are sandwiched between the long pieces. See the diagram.
  • Weld all of the rebar inside of the frame.
  • It would help to find some 1.5" spacers laying around the shop so you can place them between the rebars quickly and be sure they are square. Nuts and hydraulic fittings might be the right size.
  • Weld the cross support (the 1/4 x 2 flatbar) in centered and perpendicular to the plane of the frame.

Don't get me wrong, they're cheap and often get the job done, but they were made to not drive well. They were designed specifically in the early 20th century to cam out when too much force was applied. Now that we have torque-limiting drills this isn't a problem anymore, yet somehow we still use them.
