Nicely done beta test. I don't see the point of welding a spring point if the nut and bolt do the trick. You'll need to weld a foot onto the tube, but that's easy.
I think I'm going to create a hinge piece out go something solid like 1"x1" square or something. And weld this piece of stainless to it. Slightly angled outward to be more stable. Seems very vertical at the moment and I'll put a foot on it.

Notch was done with an angle grinder lol. Everything was eyeballed. Version 2 I'm aiming for perfection. Just need to accumulate pieces now. I have the pieces I need at work. Plus band saw ect.
So I think I'll be able to make something much nicer.
