We also made some full ones.

Nice.

I think I would have just painted one side Green and the other Red. Only need half as many tags that way.

My version for a rotating engine stand with fixture mount.
Used a HF worm gear hand winch. The timing chain/gear is from a SB chevy. IIRC the gearing is around 88:1.
The engine is a Cummins 4BT about 750 lbs, for a future project.

That’s badass. I just cut up my old engine stand to turn into a welding cart. About halfway done so I won’t have decent pics until next weekend probably. What’s the 4bt going in?

Haven't decided what to put it into. A Scout Traveler, a Dodge Ramcharger or older Dodge 1/2 ton pickup? I now live in a county without emission testing so that opens up the possibilities.

Here are a few pictures from a Jeep bumper project that I’m building for a guy.

Looks great so far, Mike. Is that a pivot for a swing out tire carrier we're seeing?

Thank you.

Yes, that is a spindle for a swing out tire carrier. More detailed pictures and overall project can be seen in my Shop Projects 2.0 thread.

Finally made enough progress on my engine stand turned welding cart where I feel it worthy of sharing.
Old engine stand that did nothing but get in the way





Still a lot of work to do but at least the frame is mostly done. Hitch pin seems to be perfect size for the rear wheel mount, just need to find a second one lol. Goal is all reused or already on hand materials aka the boss said don’t spend any money haha

That is not building...that there is "crafting" a project. Them are some beautiful welds...

Thank you, I appreciate that. Seems like I'm never quite happy with my welds but I guess that's how we all improve on one thing or another.

Here are a few MIG welds for MIG Monday that I did last night on the same tire carrier/bumper project that I am working on.







Also mocked up the latch and welded the clasp on the bumper.

 

[A**holes Garage]

I finished up a rear swivel bumper, tire and jerry can bumper for an older XJ back in Nov. Customer wanted it crude and a bit crusty to match his Jeep;

Beautiful work there zmotorsports.

Ditto!

Took my breath away. Just had to sit and stare at them.

That race don't look so good. Only moving around 90* it won't be a problem though.

Won't be using the setup races. The actual races are still in the package and won't be installed until after powder coating. I have a set of test races I use when I build these bumpers. Those same races have been in about 5 or 6 bumpers now. Although they would probably be fine as they are not doing much but moving 115-degrees by hand.

I saw this, thought it'd be a good place to post it...

That there seems to be one of those optical delusions. Mike

No really, I welded it! If it's on the internet, it's got to be true....

Yeah, "This Old Tony" made that with his Mobius strip bandsaw blade.

This is what happenes when your welding, and the Infinite Improbability Drive is activated.

Tungsten grinder for the walk of shame.

Looks pretty snazzy, but "walk of shame"? TIG related I assume, and I haven't gotten into TIG so....

Your MIGs look like TIGs.

 

[TheEquineFencer]

PITA to get it to move and work as I wanted it to...

It's truly cobbled together...but it works...

 

[jimgood]

I want to weld this gear to its shaft. It's hardened steel and the only MIG wire I have is ER70S6. Will it work?
This is not mission critical. I just need it to stick. It's the gear from the window motor in my race car and I'm going to also want to weld a nut onto the shaft so I can use this to crank the window up manually.

Just for a window?

Weld it. You will be fine.

LOL...yep. Just for a window. You have no idea.

Thanks. I figured since both are carbon steels it shouldn't matter but didn't think it would hurt to ask. I'll be sure to post pics of the catastrophic failure when I get done screwing it up!

A couple of spot welds should be all that is necessary and MIG will be fine for that.

Couple!?! Pfffft! Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!

Thanks for the responses! Got 'er done!

Edit: And, no, it wasn't greasy when I welded it!

 

[PurpleZj]

Made some more progress on the welding cart. Finished the lower basket sides and wheel mounts. However I need to heat and bend one of the wheel mounts back into true since it warped a little. Next I need to start the basket for the top shelf that’ll hold the welder and then add all the hose/cord mounts etc that a good cart needs. Then I need to go through and finish weld/smooth everything and start painting.

I like it Any chance you'll paint the light blue to match the rest of the shop?

More frame work on the SXS. Added gussets to the rear lower a arm pivot points. The frame is known to bend in here from side loads to the rear tires. Had to remove the rear axles and diff for clearance but was pretty easy to get done.
