   To a certain extent that is self deprecation, and to some extent I know   
   what a "pretty" weld should look like.  I really don't think 48 inches   
   of weld will fail catastrophically all at once without warning causing   
   both jacks to suddenly fall off under load.   
      
   I should atleast see some movement and hear some metal screaming as I   
   run frantically to get out of its path.   
      
   Next is some real wheel chocks because I intend to use the jacks to tilt   
   the trailer detached from the tow vehicle for loading.  I thought I had   
   some big plastic ones around, but they seem to have disappeared.
