To a certain extent that is self deprecation, and to some extent I know what a "pretty" weld should look like.  I really don't think 48 inches of weld will fail catastrophically all at once without warning causing both jacks to suddenly fall off under load.

I am concerned my shade tree engineering may have been wrong and I may
have to cut them off and reweld them higher.  LOL.  We shall see.  That

That's the sort of rework that convinced me to not do things I couldn't undo. To remind myself to at least think twice I put a pencil eraser on the end of my Xacto knife.
