The bottom piece is 1" and it is mitered into the web of the H beam. The angle iron with the bolts through it hold the H beam to the top plate. Since there is no pressure on the base plate the beam isn't welded down, the bolts and angle iron hold it up. Kirk Yes Wally you are right.

And it looks like there are angles through bolted to the 1". I'm guessing the angles are welded to the base plate but is the 1" welded also?

Its hard for me if I can't draw or use my hands. The dies are made of 4 inch channel iron and the piece the die slides onto is tapered to match the inside of the channel. The channel is slid into place and a 1 inch by 1/4 inch piece of strap is welded on both sides so the channel can't fall off. It will however slide off if you pull it away from the H beam. The bottom die holder is attached in the same manner, it is welded solid to the H beam and is tapered for the 4 inch channel iron. You are right in that everything is attached to a plate and it is seperate from the legs. I did it this way so that I can load it in my pickup and haul it to do demonstrations with.

I've got some questions if you've got the time. * I can't figure out how the dies are set up to go on or how they stay on. * It looks like the "H" beam, motor, tank etc. are all attached to a plate and that maybe it sets on a stand that isn't integral... is that right? * Is the bottom die holder attached like the top cylinder brace is?
