Spirit levels. The base plate is my starting point and plates that pass through the pipe are my datums.

That's an awful lot of fitting. Will that get stress relieved after welding?

No because its only mild steel.

I hope you're wearing steel toe boots! 'Cuz those will totally save your feet if this thing drops! ;-)

It's on a set of rollers with a couple tressels supporting the frame so it won't spin under its own weight. Video didn't pick it up its safe
