I used the lathe to turn the tube to the correct diameter by using a boring head on the inside, and regular lathe tooling on the outside diameter.<\/p>\n<p>I also turned some little clamps out of cold rolled steel (seen on the right). The top is recessed to hold a regular allen head bolt, and the center is tapped. The sides are milled to a slight circle so it can side on the edge of the tubing. Only one side needs to be milled, but the other side is milled to save weight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/IMG_6235.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/IMG_6235-tm.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" alt=\"IMG_6235.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/IMG_6236.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/IMG_6236-tm.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" alt=\"IMG_6236.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is a picture of where it will go.
