I wanted to cast Lyman Sabots, and it would't fit under the spout:
71885
A friendly neighbour gave me 15cm of50x50mm stainless tubing:
71886
Bottomplate is secured by 4 screws:
71887
The screws aren't all the same, they differ in length and thread, so be sure to put them in the right hole on reassembly, easy to ruin the threads on aluminum. 2 of them have slottet heads:
71888
Used the bottomplate as a template, and marked 4 holes (Actually, I marked 8 holes as I needed to attach the 50x50mm to both the bottomplate and the pot holder column.):
71889
Center punched the holes:
71890
Drilled 4mm holes for the side that I attached to the column, and 6mm holes on the side that I atteched to the bottom plate. The reason for this is that then I was able to stick a small screwdriver through the 6mm hole and tighten the screws that hold the column. How did I do the screws that weren't slotted? I took a socket that fit (5mm/6mm don't really remember), and hammered a lead bullit into the place where the handle usually goes. Then made a deep slot in the lead, and thus I could use the small screwdriver to tighten the screws that weren't slottet as well (If I can't punch the lead back out again, I guess i can melt it out without ruining the socket.):
71892
Mockup to see if problem will be solved:
71893
