I am by no means a fabricator.

This is a brace I have seen before but am unable to purchase. So now I have put a couple together myself and am reasonably pleased with the results.

This brace will be anchored to concrete on one end, and easily fits into the latching system for my forms on the other. Rotating the brace shrinks or expands it with high torque helping with perfect setting of formwork before and after pour

I am extending this turnbuckle with an aluminum pipe (or tube) and having the pipe telescopic as well with another pipe within it

I'll cut the turnbuckle at the line and hopefully I can secure it strong enough that I can torque as much as id like.

I could weld a plate so they can be bolted together but I'm hoping for ideas. Maybe the steel arms can be forced into the aluminum with some creative drilling and vice pressure to lock them together.
