Note I use Mueller stainless alligator clips inserted into holes drilled at a ten degree up angle in the cross bars. There are about 16 holes placed evenly aound on the bars to put clips into as I choose. They stay in place really well and the weight of the piece holds them even tighter due to the angle. The cross bars are 1/2" square aluminum tig welded into this grid arrangement.
Also here's a picture of the plate, the first piece out of this new slightly bigger thank. It's really hard to take a picture of a black plate. It really is smooth and shinier than it looks in the picture.
