The tower of welding...

[Jim The Swede]

Hi!

My girlfriend tells me that I have to much toys and tools in my garage, maybe this is true, but I think for myself that I have a to small garage...

But I try to make more space and just now I was looking on my welding maschines, if I put them on top of each other I am going to have a little more space on the floor.
This is how far I have come for now, the bottom mig is three phase and I have mounted one phase connection on that so I can feed the two other welders that are one phase maschines, I even put a Connection in the front of the middle one just for to plug in grinders etc. This means that I need only to plug in the three phase cable.

Just now I am trying to put on holders for the cables but I have a little more work to do on that.

more to come...

I get the same from my wife , except when I have to fix something around the house and I have the machine to do it , or a spare piece laying around that takes care of the problem .

Here is a pic of the front of the maschines:

Ones man's trash is another man's treasure..... My wife also thinks most of my "stuff" is track....until she needs something repaired and I "just happen " to have a part or a piece to make it whole again. Nice work Swede!

Nice work. I am lucky I have never had a problem w/ my wife. Even overheard my daughter at age 10 say to her friend, my Dad can fix anything. We will see if this continues when i bring home the lathe kind of like yours I am buying from my brother next week.

Thanks for your kind replies

A small progress happend to day in the garage, I found an old hose hanger and used it for my welding tower.

I cut it in half and fabricated a backside for them with sheet metal, welded the halfes on the sheets and voila! I got two nice thin hangers for the welding cables.

More progress to come ;-)

Great idea, but I'd put on some larger diameter casters. One small stone or hitting a cord and that "tower" is going to topple. Just a thought

Looks great! Any more pictures or info on your lift table

Hi Swharris!

You are absolutely right about that, I will try to get bigger and harder wheels on it, I got the "Tower" from a friend for free and now I try to see if I can do anyting with it and I Think it will work with some modifications

Ask her if she has too many shoes in her closet...

Hey Jim,

The tower is taking shape, good job and keep the pictures coming for future updates.

Oh, by the way, is that Honda in the back ground a future project?

I have an old F7, 175 Kaw that I am going to be working on once my garage is finished.

Love those old bikes.
