cleaning.
The cleaning was accomplished using a wire bru sh mounted on
my small hand drill, then I went over it again using a small orbital
sander with 60-grit paper (see Figure 6,6),
The rough ends from cutting were removed with a grinder and a metal
file. Keep in mind that you can lise whatever tools you have on hand
to get the job done. If you only have access to hand tools, then cut-
ting and clean ing will just take more time. When the ends are clean,
you have two options: bolt them together or weld them together.
