Hi Bill

Stock used is usually square or close to it, now if you take a piece
of steel pipe that's able to slide on there, you'll need a stove bold
with a nut for each side on both ends.


That last part answers my question ... I couldn't see a way to make it
stable (in a reasonable amount of time) with just three bolts total. 3
(or 4) on each end makes sense. Four actually makes more sense because,
while three (on each end) makes sense only on round pieces, 4 can be
used for round, square and rectangular.
