    Welding and fab table build

    You were wise to grab that piece of plate. I haven't had to buy any big steel lately, but I'm sure it's worth well over 100 bucks. Should make a great table

    Fabbing a new table, needs some tips

    I always run a bar between two of the legs for hanging clamps on. I'll also say that I would never do engine building in the same area as welding unless you absolutely have no choice. One stray *********** can really ruin your day.

    So I had this goofy idea.

    I'd be willing to take that risk to make even 50 cents. Good luck suing a white boy that's got nuthin.:lol:

    Exactly Jim... I doubt many people are restoring early 1900's Fisk , Durant , or REO vehicles these days. The most amazing thing I've learned from having these is how many short lived vehicle manufacturers there were back then

    Boy you're not kidding about tough times. I've been picking up old frames at thrift stores for 1-2 dollars each. There's a dollar store by me that has big frames for 2 bucks also. I'm only going to do about 10 right now to see if there's any interest

    I thought about it but they're double sided and you're talking over 1,000 copies. :willy_nil

    So I had this goofy idea.

    I have about 500 of these wiring diagrams printed in 1932 for vehicles from 1914 to 1931. I was going to frame and sell some of them and it occurred to me that that in the right setting they might make a really cool wall covering, if it was done really nice with maybe some type of gloss over it...
