My NWG Build

Why not pink!? Then you could hide your lunchbox next to it and nobody would notice!

Hey Ern.
Since your welding it, I would go ahead and drill a hole and weld a nut for the threads where the bolt holds the tool arm attachment in place. The plans call to drill and tap a hole there but welding a nut will give you more threads .
Good luck.

In my first build I welded nuts like Tod suggests. I just did not like the look, I thought that it looked sloppy. I have never had a problem shearing the threads out and I have been using it with threaded tubing for a year now. I have thought that If I needed more threads I would cut and drill a square the width of the tubing and weld it on, then tap it. I haven't done it but I do think that it would look neater.
