[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 304252, member: 4885"] Zeb, that makes sense and would work. I was thinking more along the lines of duplicating the look of aluminum pillars, but make them out of steel bed. Then cut/install them the same way you would with the aluminum pillars. It makes sense to me that the pillars and the bedding should be the same material, so any shrinkage/swelling due to temperature would be completely consisten. I was thinking about pouring some wax into a pan, drilling a stepped hole into the wax, then pouring it full of steelbed. After it sets up, remove the pillar and drill my center hole through it. Voila! poured pillars. What do you think? AJ [/QUOTE]
