And for your high end craftsmen, don't judge me...this type of project fits my skill set....I'm not a finish carpenter or a stoker for the same reason...my joints are never tight enough.

Looks great! I have a bunch of weathered pallets out back, I'll probably start building some stuff next week. When I first moved into this place over 20 years ago, there was a clothesline out back and it was a pain mowing around the pole and ducking under the lines, I grabbed my cutting torch, cut the pole off and hit the steel bottom with a grinder.
Turns out I really missed the option of hanging larger items on the line. Yesterday I broke out the air chipping hammer and chipped out the concrete around the base and hit everything with a grinder to get it flush.
I still had the T pole out in my steel pile, so I grabbed the beast and my welder and welded it back in place. It turns out holding a 100 pound T pole in one hand at the base and tack welding it is a considerable challenge.
After about 30 minutes of trying to line the beast up and saying a few bad words, I got the tack welds done and was able to burn some rods and run a bead.
Now I'm just waiting for my vinyl steel core line to show up so I can restring it.
