My TSC box blade upgrade. The original struts bent pretty early on. I took them off and welded in a new 2 1/2" tube to strengthen it up. It's pretty solid now.

Sweet fix Jackson!

 

[1953mercury]

Nice job, looks much stouter. Mike

 

[jackson1701]

Thanks guys! It's definitely much stronger. I'm hoping to add a top and tilt kit in the near future to make it more useful. My son uses it quite a bit to groom his little mx track. He does a nice job with it.

I shamelessly stole the horseshoe owl idea from this forum, but added a Trex base to it, so that it would stabilize the owl and hold a plant.

The bottom horseshoe has 1/4x20 nuts welded to the bottom of it, to allow a blind attachment and to space it away from the Trex to prevent water from collecting between the horseshoe and causing rust. All the Trex fasteners are stainless. This will live outside, but might see some rain or snow. I applied many coats of clear lacquer to the entire project.

I don't remember if I ever posted this or not. The welds aren't the prettiest, but it's been holding our projector on the headboard of the bed for 2 years now.

If it's held up on your headboard for two years, it's been pretty well torture tested and should last forever!

Nice upgrade. It looks better and stronger than when it was new.

Some frame repair on an ancient pickup sprayer, and found the bed was rotted on the pickup so tore it off and going to be building a flatbed for it . Edit: i know realize this thread is more for finished projects

Hey we love all the stages of projects...keep the pics coming!

Quick Vanjen clamp intake pipe for my RX-7.

I made some leveling plates for my pair of harbor freight toolboxes. I bought some 1/4" thick caster plates and welded coupling nuts and some 1/4" gussets to them. Be kind to me, my TIG welds aren't as pretty and even as most of you guys, but I needed the practice.

What do you think?

Just love smooth and even, single run welding, https://www.flickr.com/photos/148872646@N06/33197897860/in/dateposted-public/

Great welding! by the way,is that a utility welding clamps at the cornor of your photo?

Nice ... are they square tube or angle?

Made a cart with recycled office chair base and leftovers from other projects. The bottom shelf rotates 360 and formed 5/16" plain rod for hammer holders . Mainly built it for a new Blacksmith hobby. Top shelf will be handy and sides can hold goodies . I added a HF 18" magnetic strip to one end.

Thanks. Those are Bessey clamps.

Nice work! Are you going to paint it?

Yes, will paint it when the weather warms up. Not sure of color yet.

First post on site! Project I'm on now. Wood is for mock up and will be over two sheets of 3/4 ply. All bottom boxes will be fully enclosed in sheet metal. Picked up new Miller a month or so ago and figured I needed a large project to break it in. Wife was Makin bacon the other day and I woke up thinking someone was using my new welder

So, what is it? Chop saw station?

 

[Dividelo]

Pics probably don't look like it but that's 12'-0" long. Power tool storage that is enclosed so I can hose garage without jacking up tools, workbench and yes it does have mitre drop.

 

[bbcc]

Nice! She'll be a sturdy workbench for sure.

Night Stands

Not sure if I posted these on another thread or not.

Night stands I built my kids for Christmas a few years back. The funky looking one is made to hang on a bunk bed side rail. Since building them I have made installed USB chargers on the flip up outlet devices.

square tube frames, angle doors, use rare earth magnets for the stops and catches for each door, top and bottom...

 

[Farmall450]

Closed up some locating holes on 2 of these brackets for my brother. Also fixed a wagon tongue for my uncle. Didn't snag a picture of that.

Put that in my CRS file

 

[mrobins297aaa]

not know where as nice as some projects on here.
but I needed some way to transport things with my tractor in the winter time when I don't have my front end loader installed, so I welded that receiver hitch on to my back blade to hold that cargo carrier.

 

[DieselRiver]

Got the basic frame for flatbed primed and painted, just need to reroute the fuel filler line and it'll get bolted on and the rest will be built and painted on the truck, its all made out of 3/16 2x6, mounts are 1/4in plate, and will be bolted to the frame with 8 3/4in grade 8 bolts, should be more then strong enough i think

 

[hefnerconstructionlc]

Building some handrails and porch for my office. Not yet complete but will be soon.

My new Eastwood plasma cutting table came in the other day. I cut the legs off 3.75” (caster height) and welded up a bottom frame out of 1 x 1 x .125 angle. I also ran some of the same stock along both long edges of the top to make a slot for the modified HF drill press clamps. I hung a piece of welding blanket on the operator side to keep the sparks away from my feet (which often have only tennis shoes on them in the summer). The clamps swing out of the way for storage-parking of the table.

I thought that the cutting dross mess would be a problem but it turns out that the waste is almost all still magnetic (unlike the oxide produced by torch cutting) and is easily “swept” up with my magnetic “broom”.

 

[ndr1968]

The HF clamps for the plasma cutting table had to be modified. I had to lengthen the threaded portion by a half inch so that it could extend beyond the bottom of the 1” angle material running along the top. The photos show pretty much how I did it. Then I had to extend the reach of the clamps to cover the table top area for clamping straight edges and jigs. This gave me an opportunity to mess with some 6011. Ugly but functional welds.

I have outgrown my little single welder cart and my tig machine was sitting on the bench. So, thought I'd upgrade into a bigger one with some additional room for accessories. Really happy how it turned out. Nice to have everything in one place.

 

[steel 35]

Very nice!

 

[davidhansen]

I just recently bought a bunch of these: http://titaniumprocessingcenter.com/titanium-products/titanium-rod/ and am looking to build a fun playset for my kids. I'm excited, but it's my first big project and my welding will be put to the test!

 

[DieselRiver]

Some more work on the flatbed, need to do tail mounts, wiring, and plate the top

You're making your kids playset out of titanium?

Came out excellent.

The flatbed frame looks great. However, similar to when ChuckE2000 (on youtube) did the mounts this way I wonder if you'll be putting a lot of downward force on the truck's frame at just the 4 mounting points on the frame? Usually the factory frame is only a C-channel not a heavy boxed tube. I've seen older flatbeds usually have treated lumber sandwiched between the flatbed frame and the chassis frame to spread the load over a larger area.

 

[sberry]

I am going to agree, it needs a set of mounts over the front rear spring hangers. This is going to place load in the middle of the frame. Its beautiful but not designed right.
