The floor in my shop isn't exactly level so I had to use my dad's shop. Its a metal fab shop so he had all the right scrap metal laying around and a 220v welder so it made sense. I did it in his paint room so not to disturb business too much. I leveled out the frame, checked it for square and welded on metal stands.

Cut out 12 inch in a Z pattern for strength. Welded extra bracing in the inside. I thought the diamond looked better than just a square piece of metal. I think I found that on here somewhere.
