I am looking at building this rest and was wondering where is the best place to get the flange angle
ring. This looks like a fairly big project. Byron

It is a great design and easy to build if you have the basic metal working tools. If you can't weld, you can always cut all the parts and have them welded up. In the plans )see link) there is a link to the McMasters website. I built mine in a day and it is much bigger than normal.
