- 1). Place the 5-foot length of the the tubing into the bench vise on the welding table. Keep it parallel to the ground.
- 2). Put on your welding goggles, gloves and apron. Heat the one end of the tubing. This prepares to for the welds that hold the fork and lugs.
- 3). Weld the 10-inch lengths of tubing onto the heated end of the main tube so they form a fork coming out from the end of the main tube.
- 4). Weld one 1-inch lug to the inside bottom of each branch of the welded fork on the bottom of the main tube. It should look like a two-pronged pitchfork with lugs on the inside of the prongs.
- 5). Wrap the top of the main tube with duct tape to use as a grip. Let the metal cool and the welds solidify for at least 30 minutes. Remove the tow bar from the vise.
