Making Shackle Mounts | How to

I wanted to add a few shackle mounts to my log trailer but instead of buying the mounts, I decided to make my own. The mounts are made from 3″ wide by 1″ thick cold rolled steel.

  • If you like to make inventions do things that you can think of yourself your own ideas another words we need to talk! I don't have any metal cutting tools but I am a general contractor so therefore carpentry tools I have everything but doesn't help my situation. I have an idea that would change Spar tree work positioning forever self rescue but I need some outside help

  • I would have never bet that hole saw would get through 1" plate......let alone 6 times!

  • Good job! I’m surprised that the hole saw was able to cut the steel. I’ve always used them on wood.

  • That's great work. I might mount some myself with my everlast welder.
