[Shop-talk] Cutting a chain link fence post? (Jim Franklin)

[Jim Franklin]

I'm not seeing how the 2x4s would attach. Given that product's intended use, I would assume there'd be an easy way of securing the legs. But it looks like the bracket just rests on loose 2x4s, which the wind would topple. Sure I could make a top cap for each 2x4, but that's a rabbit hole I don't want to get into especially for $89. 

I had better luck this morning, found one by Vivere for only $200 😳  

I could cram 3  2x4s up into a jack stand, and it has cutouts for a chain. Hmm.

I've been looking for a metal head that accepts 3 2x4s for a tripod but can't find any. Is it not a thing? The 2x4 sawhorse brackets are everywhere, I assumed a tripod head would be as well. A friend has a chan fall I can borrow.
