Handy Devices

Oh, for a place to store your heavy trailer hitches! Dennis Valentine, Hastings, Nebraska, broke out his welder and made short work of it with some scrap pieces of steel he had stored around his shop. Valentine welded three 6-inch lengths of 2 1/2-inch tube steel to an 8- x 10-inch piece of plate steel. The hitches fit comfortably inside, keeping them all where he can find them.
