Then after putting two of the sections of pipe side by side, lining up the holes, I would then insert the screw in the holes of each tube, put a star washer or a split (lock) washer over the threaded end of the screw, then run the nut by hand over the threaded end of the screw until hand tight, while holding the screw head by hand or with either a stubby Philips screw driver of a right angle Philips screw driver (This mandates using Philips head screws). Then I would use a quarter inch drive ratchet handle with a socket to fit the nut and tighten it with the ratchet while holding the screw head with the right angle Philips or Stubby Screw driver. Quite lengthy answer, but I'm kind of a detail sort of guy.<br />Best regards,<br />PeohguyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806574735702806847.post-11452974471847903862012-12-03T00:41:42.900-05:002012-12-03T00:41:42.900-05:00So cool!

To get the tubes together, did you drill holes first and then hold the nut on the inside while you hand-turned the bolt? How big was the hardware you used? Love what you did!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
