After deciding where to put the cross piece, I sawed it down to what looks like a good length, bashed it up with a wooden mallet as it is sanded to perfection which doesn't look right for something that has been dragged around the sea bed, drilled the hole through with a flat bit and glued it in with some of the FIL's gap-filling glue. This stuff foams up to gap-fill and started to come out of the sides like a washing machine in a cartoon with way too much soap powder in it! I can sand that down later though and try to make it look like a weld as I'm trying to make this look like metal not wood (anchors tend to be made of metal 
not wood). In no time at all the glue was hard so I laid it all out again, just placed the pieces together and the barb bits on their side in place but because of their curve they roll over but I don't want to fix them in place yet, here's the last photos for now...
That was yesterday, the weather here today is shocking but I might go and try to do a bit more later today
