I have been working on the 21 ft. table off and on. I built myself a cheap jig out of plywood and 2 x 4's. I tacked them together in the jig and took them out and clamped them to too different things to keep them from warping. You would think I was making rocking chairs instead of picnic table frames. So I straightened the in my homemade press. When I went to the next step and welded the top on I tried something different- I clamped a 5/8ths washer between the part being welded and the stiffener---WORKED!!! Kind of like those big cement I-beams you see going down the road--pre-stressed. I am not used to welding all this new steel. Usually I have to grind of the rust or old paint before I can weld on it. New steel is getting very EXSPENSIVE. My Wife's brother runs a welding/repair shop 15 mi from me so I get my steel from him. 48 ft. of 2x2 1/8 wall square tubing cost me $206. I don't know if he is treating me good, or getting even for sleeping with his sister!!!

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
