He's just sad 'cuz he didn't overbuild it enough.
Now I am no expert, by any measure, but it seems to me the added bracing wasn't needed. Not criticizing, the build looks fantastic, but isn't all the main pressure going from the flat vertical surface, to the pin holding it to the cylinder? It appears to me the flat bottom, is there only to serve as a guide to keep the piston on track.
The new brace seems only necessary, to support pressure from the vertical surface, to the horizontal surface. Is there that much pressure downward?
I just hate to see ya have to go through all the extra work, especially since you already did it.
Or am I missing something critical in the design?

OK another question, what kinda amperage is required to weld something like this? My little wire welder only puts out about 85 amps, and I am guessing that isn't enough.
Yea thats what I figured, but wanted to know for sure. I need to get one of the old tombstones.
