Portable tiller device!

Figured I'd share this with you guy's.
I have been thinking about a way to have a tiller set up that is better than a couple 2x4's screwed together with some pegs in it. So I gathered some material and since I don't have a welder I brought a 6pack to my neighbor and this is what we come up with. Going to give it a test run this weekend on my trade bow. Patrick

  Patrick, I bought a bunch of that unistrut like you have there and configured it to be a tiller tree, a weight station, a bracing jig as well as a bow bench shaving horse seat and all.

Thanks fellas! I think it will work for a long time. Even better,  I only have 17 dollars in it. The main post is a galvanized sign post. The holes are exactly 1in apart. The rest is stainless steel. We painted the welds on the galvanized so they won't rust.

Jawge, I was going to but I found him a  Coors Light Beer hat. That's his favorite. Patrick

That's a pretty cool rig Patrick. One of these days, I'm gonna make a hitch mount like that for my stave press.
