...not from PVC!
I have constructed a mid/low power pad, and have constructed a HPR PVC Pad that has proven itself a warrior when lofting lots of J and K motors...These pads all had one thing in common...they were easily made from PVC. Very easy, very convenient.
But this new pad is a "Hoss"

The supplied link is too John Cokers web site, one of the best informational sites for HPR, and it is of the "Pro Rail base he made many years ago. I have always wanted to build one, and this past week, that dream has come true.
My new HPR pad is made from 2" tubular steel, that has 3/32" wall thickness, and aluminum metal plates are 3/16" thick. The legs are 40" long, for a nice stable 80" footprint.
Pictured is my pad in the travel / storage / carry posistion. (a little more dremel work, and the R/leg will close even further
