    Default Roll over jig?

    Has anyone made their own roll over jig or is it best to buy one ready made?

    I had both ends connected with scaffy clamps and a length of scaffolding pipe and some wheels on it so it could be wheeled about the workshop.

    arghhhhh ...the ...vent.

    TBH a rollover jig is the best thing ever when stitch welding a shell and yet more than half the people I see fabricating a jig don't even weld the reason for making it in the first place.
