hydraulic pump, and make these pieces when I need them? Are any readily
available, or what would it cost for a machinist to make me a set that
would do up to 90 deg? They got that stuff @ HF?

TY, TY, TY. I really liked some of the welding sequences, particularly in
the second one. This is exactly what I'm thinking about, as many times,
fabrication can only go do far with stock pieces, or when you need something
to an odd angle. These would be easy to make, and cheap, cheap, cheap.
