First Build. Making a portable(ish) stand for my hammock. Today I cut one leg in half, added the threaded insert with lip, along with a 3’’ stub of 3/8’’ threaded rod. Attempted to add a structural coupling over the joint, but it will not fit. Ground down the lip of the insert to the EMT diameter. And the coupling fit, tight but fit. Will post image in a bit. First leg held up with a slight bend. Now to add to 3 legs and 3 across the ridge line .🤞🏻. Holds 235lbs so far. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
