The patch piece. 3 bends, 3 planes, 1 cut. |
 |
My Bender I use the Strong-Tie and the c-clamp to hold the Patch on the edge of the table (which I made). The mini sledge and 2" cold chisel do the bending. |

Don't make mistakes welding holes closed, double-check first. A sharpie works great for this. |
 |
All tacked up in place |

 |
Tacks were made 10 to a session, evenly dispersed. 20 min of cool-down between sessions. |
