    Build rockergaurds, like Creighton's (Blankenship's too), out of some box tubing. I have the dimensions written down someplace. (from Bryan Sheet Metal or something?) I won't have enough money for a step yet, so I will just drill and bolt them up for now.

    I'm not exactly sure on the proper name or terminology of the Box (or angle iron), but it gets the idea across.

    Even though Blanken****s is bigger, Crea knows how to use his better.

    Will a welder be needed for this? Perhaps one can be brought from Dexter? I have 220v nearby, but the extension cord from Krebs that we used last time would be handy.

    no just a chop saw, angle grinder, and drill should be all the tools needed

    Make sure you use some type of locknut or lock washer because when those pan heads get rubbed on some rocks, you will have one hellufa time trying to re-tightening them and you may just have to grind the heads off if you ever need to take them off.
