There's a separate link there where someone used a fully threaded rod and an eyebolt. That seems a lot easier, if angled a bit weird.

This seems like a clever way to make it without welding, it looks like it would work and wouldn't be to difficult

Neat!

... I have a vague memory of seeing these done simply tied with rope once upon a time.

Not saying it's the best solution, simply a different place on the weight/time/comfort tradeoff. :)

Want to make me some tri-bolts?
