Show us your welding projects

Picture of clamp below best explains it and the place I got it from is Lehigh valley abrasives, they were the least expensive. I wanted something to help me for this project as well as some end tables and work bench I will be building in the future. It is very square! the surfaces are all machined and it comes with a spec tag for how it checked out. Quality for sure. I do not have a jig table so it did the job and holds it very tight while your tacs are cooling.

link to last picture, sorry don't have a picture of mine on hand. They are all patent style.

Can you provide more info on making shelves. Also are they bolted on or have slots they sit in.

The front piece is 1x2 rectangle tubing I welded in. I then took some 1” angle and made a frame to go around the outside of the cabinet and let the shelf sit on it. The shelves were leftover shelves out of a cabinet at work but were to long and not deep enough. I cut them down and folded the edges with a hammer and vise. Then I sliced another shelf long ways and scabbed it on the front so the entire shelf is as deep as the top (factory) one. Lots of work but it was fun and not I’ve got a sturdy cabinet.

Here are a few Christmas gifts I made over the past couple months.

and a welding cart I made while I was off for Christmas

Nice job ... like the cable humps

Great job on the welding cart.

 

[BD1]

Did some plant pot holders.

 

[cspcrx]

Those look great! The bottom one is really cool. Great job!

Cool stuff
Well done

That's the cutest little stick welder there ever was...

I built my welding table with it on 220v and never once hit the duty cycle. Love that thing.

Made a machine to resize cast bullets a whole lot easier instead of dropping them in by hand one by one. Got the idea from pictures and video I saw on another forum.

 

[cspcrx]

Slick machine!

 

[earlthegoat2]

Making a bed. Steel frame with cherry wood panels recessed between the framing. Drawers for storage underneath.

The cherry is wood I chainsaw milled from the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. You can see a few boards in the upper right and the stack of lumber in the upper middle through the gap in the headboard frame.

All that with a stick welder too. I thought those were obsolete.....

 

[jimgood]

Only took me four days and two tries but I made a box for my Mitutoyo dial indicator. Build posts are here.

Nice Project. At least show us the welds!

 

[cspcrx]

Turned out real nice. I know the feeling those thin edges just weld up so differently.

 

[Garagetime]

Built these shelf brackets today. To hold bench grinder.

 

[Cue]

Welded up a dueling tree from targets i got on Amazon for $60 and some steel I had laying around, need to paint it and go shoot.

I like those.

Well they are mostly ground down now. For indoor furniture (of which this my first made of metal) I prefer the smooth look. Let me just say the welds are sturdy and they don't look half bad. With 6011, they can only look so good anyway. Stack of dimes.



Ill post an update when I get the cherry installed.

 

[shortykorte]

Cool shelf brackets!

That clamp is a bit pricy but seems to be a real problem solver. Thanks for sharing!

I see you have a two pound coffee can hanging on your peg board? How'd you do that?

Where did you get those brackets? Make them? Buy them? I'm thinking you made 'em. Love to see a detailed close up!

 

[bmxdad]

Has anyone ever made up a set of wheel dollies, as shown, to move a car around the shop? Looks like a fun project. Ones shown are ~ $100

 

[Griff93]

You can't hardly buy the casters for what the dollies cost. If you need them, buy them. It will be more expensive to make them.

I've been working on some stainless lately. It's not something I weld very often. I mostly work in steel and aluminum.

[nonhog]

If those are HF, I would build some rather than buy and rebuild those.
They work o.k. on light cars but worked like **** on my old 65 Cutlass.
I have talked to some who have trued wheels and shimmed them.
BMX build and post!

 

[Sjfab]

I replaced the bottom of this bucket last spring, finally got the machine to sit still long enough to finish welding on the hardox plates. 3 passes around each plate.

 

[ndr1968]

There's a few hours, rods and cups o' coffee invested in that ^

For sure.

Looks like a good way to test the duty cycle on your machine

 

[Sjfab]

For sure.

8 hours of welding. Esab migmaster 250. Never skipped a beat.

 

[earlthegoat2]

Here is an update on my bed project.

 

[BD1]

Did some art stuff and plant holders.

Now that's a real welding project and different one

 

[Kenuto]

Finished a facade/cover for a heat pump. I don't understand why the photos are cockeyed?

 

[XJSuperman]

Made up some artsy fartsy trees for hanging jewelry on. I made 4 of these for christmas gifts this year. Each is different from the others.

That came out real nice ... good match to the house.

I am digging that idea.... I need to build something to blend in my rotary phase converter outside.

I am also intrigued by the barn doors in the pic..... tell (show) us the story on those and your place!

Cockeyed or nut you nailed it for that house/garage! Great job!

 

[Kenuto]

Thank you, the client wanted a change in the corbels/ gussets. But besides that, all went well.
