1 or 2 day welding projects

[skipnay]

Let's see what you guys have made in one or two days. I looked at some of these projects and tell it took a couple weeks to do or longer. Let's see the projects you guys have started and finished in a couple days. I understand you might not have done it 2 days in a row but just looking for stuff that didn't take long to accomplish.

I built the front bumper and rock sliders for my Cherokee in about two days each. No pics handy though. 16 hours is a good amount of time (assuming you mean work days, not 2 calendar days).

Easy- welding cart. Should be on every welders list.

Fab table, firewood rack, long materials rack for the shop (cantilevered wall mount), material supports, vise stand.

Thats a mix of stuff I need to do and already have done.

Here are a few pictures of the front bumper for my Jeep JKU that I built about 6 years ago. Took me a Friday night and Saturday to fabricate then about a week to get it back from the powder coater.

Here is a link to the entire thread that I had for it. I don't think I have a thread or the rear bumper.

Lots of other welding/fabrication projects as well which took two days or less but this is one of the ones I had documented.

That bumper is nice. Wish I could find the time to do some stuff like that. But it is more my skill of welding *****

I built this roof rack using 1" square tubing for a friend's Jeep in one day:

I also built this custom mailbox post over a weekend:

Here's my contribution. Slapped together yard art from scrap.Took me about 4 hours.















After a bit of aging.

Those turned out great Larry. Nice job.

I remember seeing those on your thread when you built them Claude. Pretty cool and especially when they are fabricated from scrap.

 

[lilredex]

Here are some that were completed in a couple of days or so.

What is some of that stuff for?

 

[koditten]

This takes me about a day. Part of a second day to paint.

This one, too. ( not the same day or course).

Just finished this hairpin-leg coffee table. I think it took 2 nights in the shop.

I agree with the 'make a welding table first.' Then, make a cart for your welder. These two things will give you some practice in fabricating, fitting, tacking and welding--then make it MUCH easier to complete your next projects.

I started with a VERY small welding table, since I only had a half a garage for the shop at that time and I usually dragged this table onto the patio to work. I also tend to work on smaller projects.

There isn't much welding in this table, but I do like the slat design, for clamping. The base is something I purchased from an industrial furniture sale. It would not be too hard to weld together a similar base.

I built this cart several years ago with my first welder... took me a few hours.

Here it is a couple of weeks ago, still holding up!

 

[astroracer]

Some of my stuff.
A stand for my tubing bender.

The AoH conversion works great and having bender mobile is nice also.

A scrap steel rack.

A bumper for my truck.

It's been on there since 2000...

Hot Rod Wagon frames.

I built two of these at once.

These are crowd makers at car shows.

This is a tubing straightener I built from mostly scraps.

All done and it works perfectly.

^^^sweet!!!

Thanks Mike, but I'm no where near your league. That bumper of yours looks like a factory part, but with better welds!

 

[BD1]

I made a stand for my vertical portaband and roll a round base for the HF tubing bender and 16 ton pipe bender. Did a upright receiver hitch multi use setup. Drop in vise, ring roller, shear, or whatever.

 

[quattro_sinko]

Quick and easy railing

 

[aka Larry]

Here's another one of mine. A gate for my deck to keep the dogs in. Used 1" square tubing, 1/2" EMT, and some left over 1.75" DOM roll bar tubing.

 

[Jeepermike]

New trailer frame
Roll cage for buddys Jeep
winch mount on my gooseneck trailer

 

[PhantomEB]

That bumper is sweet. I thinking I may cut off the tube/pipe ones off my bronco and build similar. LED light pods to illuminate the sides of the trails we hit in addition to the light bar that's up top. Rear could be similar too.

When I bought my first welder, my wife asked why I needed a welder. (I am a computer guy by profession) I said "how else am I supposed to build a welding cart?".

 

[MarkG]

This was mine. I still have it, but I've since sold the welder, so I'm selling the cart too. Built it with what I learned in college MIG welding classes as well as on the job welding.
