Show us your welding projects

Water heater built to supply floor heat. Heat exchanger added after a year to increase heat extraction.

Lasted about 5 years before leaks developed.

Not a project but something I put together a few weeks ago on a bored Saturday night lol

 

[scrappy600]

Не шучу. Сейчас строю свой дом. Сварил ворота в гараж. Поддерживающую балку. Клетки для животных. и по мелочам. Ещё есть свой грузовик, самосвал. Для себя все делаю сам.

Couldn't agree more.........:-/

Man! It takes a while to get through 60 pages!
Lots of talent here for sure! With I had some of it
Figured I'd share a bench I rescued.
I'm an amature, with little practice.
I went too long and hot on this and warped it a it, but who cares. It still works

I love this! I do suggest you post one more pic with a different backgorund, the black cabinets take away from the pic.

Went back through by the advice of everyone and re-welded the seams on the coolant tank. Turned out better than before!

I am setting up a MINI cooper for towing and as it is lowered I needed to make a drop hitch adapter to get the tow bar at the correct angle. The total drop center line to center line is 4 1/2 in.

A piece of plate welded to the side of that from top to bottom would make it stronger and look cleaner.

The MINI is only 2700 lbs so the extra strength added by the addition of fish plates is not needed in this case. The tubing is 1/4" wall so overkill for this application.

Your coach looks like a pusher. What type is it?

 

[JustAnotherJeeper]

Some junk I made.
<snippage>
Heavy duty corner shelves

Motorcycle stand for my living room. I'm single. Shocker. Chicks dig it tho.

Motorcycle gear holder for my bedroom

Motorcycle anchor for a friend. Run a chain through it to secure your motorcycle and prevent it from being stolen. He has it mounted in front of his townhouse.

Thing to mount my mountain bike on my motorcycle so I can take my bicycle to work and ride it around after work. I have also taking it out of state to a race track to have something to ride around while at the race.

That's enough for now, maybe too much.

The man has a motorcycle installed as an Objet 'de Art in his LIVING ROOM.

I envy you, Sir!~

Are you by chance on ADVrider?

Great work, I am gonna steal your ideas for gear holder and corner shelving.

Можем ли мы увидеть некоторые из ваших проектов? Это было бы здорово!

A little (ok a lot) of bandsaw notching. Will snap some pictures of the welding table I'm building soon, just got her tacked together and closed up the garage for the day.

Here it is sitting in front of the house.
I'm kinda glad the welds aren't perfect, and the metal is warped, and the paint was tossed on like a two year old did it, otherwise it might have been stolen already

 

[JustAnotherJeeper]

OK, ran across this thread, in fact this forum, while looking for some DIY seriously-HD wagon info... and have spent the last 5 late nights reading every single post!

I would like to request, if anyone has a project they have built, or input on this project, please do so-

Basically I need a 2X4' flatbed steel wagon that will support 1000 pounds and pull/turn as easily as possible.


I have lots of 2X2X.125 box section, figure I will use that throughout. No rear axle per se, but 5/8" gr.8 bolts throughbolted on a truss dropped from the main frame. What haven't figured out though, is the steering. I need a 5/8" arbor, with pivots and steering arms- and I need to keep this as inexpensive as possible.

Anyway, getting long here, will make a formal post on it shortly...

 

[JustAnotherJeeper]

I'm hoping this doesnt turn into a **** fest if someone disagrees with someone elses procedures.

It's been going on for 4 years or so, without issue thus far....

Maybe you can use a front axle and wheels/tries from a scrap garden tractor. Should be easy to rework it with a tongue for steering.

Custom AN fitting, 316ss

I wish I could have prettied it up a bit more, but I was trying to keep the heat input to a bare minimum.

 

[JustAnotherJeeper]

temp and pressure takeoffs on that AN fitting? Damn fine work.

My welds are nowhere near the quality here, but they hold- They better, they're holding my suspension together!

(1989 Chevy S-10 Blazer, with 82 Wagoneer Dana 44s front and rear, in preparation for a Mercedes OM-617 turbodiesel!)

Will post pics if there's interest, but it's light years inferior to you pros...

Yes please.

In reference to pics of my project (1989 S-010 Blazer solid axle swap using 1982 Jeep Wagoneer Dana 44's),

Yes please.

Photobucket seems to be blonde at the moment, will post more shortly...

 

[HellaFab]

Made some welds.

Tig welded 304ss to tial vband turbo outlet.

More on my Facebook page.

Just finished up the top rack (with removable ladder) and front bumper/brush guard on this Argo for a customer -

 

[BD1]

I made some wine bottle holders. First time playing with this art stuff. Had old railroad spikes and some pipe scrap. Tried playing with silverware too. Made some trombone players and a flute player.

First major welding project. Its going to be a 50" x 30" x 36" tall mobile tool box/ bench. It'll have a hutch on it too eventually.

Everything is going great except Im finding the smallest bottle of gas is REALLY small and I think I want to upgrade.

 

[brawls43]

That's an interesting air compressor setup you got going on there. Any threads with more info on that? Looks like you're running through some PLC controls. Going to remote mount the tank away from the compressor?

 

[thaxboyd]

Just threw this together in CAD. We docorated my 8 year old son's bedroom to look like a garage.... I am going to make this and hang it on his wall above his desk. Will put LED strip lighting on the bottom of each shelf too. It is 6ft left to right and 2ft tall. I will make it from 1"x1" square tube and paint it black.... the plates will be thin aluminum diamond plate riveted on.

Its two skid mount compressors. The one on the right is waiting for a design overhaul. Its redesign is underway as the one on the left was recently finished with a after cooler upgrade seen here

There already is a 60 gallon tank (not in the picture) that both units dump into. The control (which we designed and build) alternates between the two pumps but also, as this is a perfect example, will run just one unit if the other is down for repair or maintenance. It is also controlled with a PLC.

 

[JustAnotherJeeper]

BSaint-

please keep us informed on this toolbox build. A Build thread dedicated to it would be choice.

I need some pretty extensive tool storage, don't want to spend thousands of dollars on a couple cookie-cutter rollarounds.

I am particualrly interested in how you'll make the drawers.

You've inspired a new project!

 

[sbhockey]

Just picked up 90' of 2"sq .1/4" wall tubing. Will be getting a plate of 3/8" roughly 3' x 6' tomorrow to build my welding table. My only cost to build the table will be some heavy locking casters, wire, and gas. Got to love working for a steel company and getting "scrap"!

More of my work station/box assembled. Primer gray means the joint is done and prepped for sand blasting.

Nice looking part their.

 

[paigej]

This is for an old military trailer that we turned into a mobile grilling station. Wanted to have the ability to tow with a bobtail/pintle hook or truck/ball hitch. Maybe not the prettiest welds, but it's plenty strong!

 

[paigej]

Cut down to size

 

[paigej]

Had to shrink the pictures!

No close ups of your welds but I hope whatever you are towing is lightweight and you will not be going far or fast.
Looks like a mig weld sitting on the surface with no pennetration
