This morning Dad and I are dropping off a casing clamp we built to the Engineers specs for the new bridge. Yesterday, I got a frantic call saying the clamp doesn't work, that it bows out. Well yeah, you wanted to use 1/2" x 12" flat bar to hold a 54" casing in place. Of course its going to bow out. So, I picked it back up, re-enforce where it should have been and then wrapped it with some 4x4x3/8" square tubing. They then asked to have it delivered for this morning. I, being the nice guy said that no problem. Might lessen the blow when they see the cost of their oops...
