    I don't get the point of drilling holes in the side of the flat plate then spot welding.? . . . If you are going to weld why not just Cap the tube with a plate with tapped holes in it.? This is what I do on steel frames then just shim the top if needed.!
    -use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.

    My idea was to make a deep plugs of weld for strength. I only have a MIG.
