Haha. The little pipes are where thd bolts go to hold it down. The big pipes are cup holders.

The pipes arnet in this pics but thats what there for. It was the easiest way i could figure to hold it down.

And yes my dad is pleased with the way it turned out. He wasnt sure on the project at first but he likes it now!
