    Outdoor stair railing - help

    If you don't mind a little distortion in the tube any commercial electrical contractor should be able to put that bend in it and do the threading as well. Just more options for you.

    Outdoor stair railing - help

    We build miles of handrail at work. 5' on centers for supports is standard. 1-1/4" sch 40 pipe makes up about 80% of it with 1-1/2" sch 40 being the balance. We have never made any from 1" even though it may technically pass the ADA with enough supports.

    TIG Welding Cart Design

    I hate my current TIG cart, so I've decided to upgrade. I based this on a vertical plastic bin storage rack I have built and was hoping to get some opinions from the smart fellers on here.

    Welding steel post bases (over concrete)

    If you're doing it per AISC the baseplate won't sit on the floor but rather leveling nuts on the studs and then grouted in. What are you using for anchors? You should be able to pull a 3/16" plate flat to the floor if you have correct anchorage.

    Engine hoist capacity beware

    If safe lifting practices were followed why was this table moved 1 foot off the ground. Safe lifting would dictate only lifting it as far as necessary to move it.

    If you have a Fastenal in your area they will sell you individual anchors.
