I'm open to more feedback on that as it is something that concerns me also.
I have a number of options open to me.
- Do nothing
- Weld each joint once positioned and bolted down (would a tack weld be sufficient?)
- Unbolt every joint; then bolt up with epoxy on each surface
- Bolt the frame down onto a rigid floor and have the floor impose the rigidity factor
- 30 coats of paint (lol)!
- Incrementally solve the problem
Taking the incremental approach further..........
The introduced chipboard will definitely improve rigidity on a number of planes however given that I am going to put a working surface over the frame by placing multiple steel rods across (say 5 lengths of square section 30*30*3 spaced evenly) then I might find that by only welding those down it could be enough to give me the rigidity I need. I could also weld corner plates on and that might be enough.
All opinions welcome.
