Building a jig bench

Hello there guys it's now July 1 2015 and it is my 2nd week of the build. I just finished digging up the lot for the preparation of the foundation of the house. My project for this day is to make a jig bench so that I can make some rib bar for the house footing of the house. This house footing is very important because this will make the foundation of the house stronger. 



I googled some images and found this one from wikipedia.org and this is exactly what I wanted to do. I never made one before so I need to research it first before attempting to make one.


First stop I needed to make a decent jig bench from and old bench some old steel I bought from a junk shop for Php 10.00 and two small pipes that I am going to use for bending rib bars.

Old bench from our apartment I dig a small hole and place fee
t of the bench in each holes for extra rigidity 


the bench 6 small metal and the pipe
