    Welded up the base and added legs.

    My Strong Hand jig. Very handy for getting things square:

    These things are beasts! Weigh about 25lbs. each.

    So, here are my next decisions. Any advice appreciated:

    - Putting another 2" square tube on top of existing ones for added stiffness. I can either mount rails on top (using epoxy to level), or mount rails to sides and use bolts for tubing to provide adjustment for parallelism. Leaning towards welding tube on and using epoxy...

    - Using only one of the trucks per rail. Given the size of these, would that work?

    All for now. Thanks!

    Going to add leveling feet today.
