Anything welding

Not a problem man! You’ll be stoked on the whole unit I promise. It’s a very user friendly unit and bends tubing very well. Being that you can weld as well already, you can just make your own stand. I made my own for my bender

 

The JD Squared tubing bender is on the way, I should be working on my first set of sliders next week. We are still getting the shop put together so no projects this week.

 

Awesome! Got yourself a nice little setup there.

What are you using for a welding table/surface?

 

I've been keeping an eye out on craigslist for a table but I'll probably end up making one once we get the shop all cleaned out.

I bought the 3x4 and 2x3 certiflat tables and put them together to make a larger 3x6 table and it has been so great. Great for keeping things square and being able to clamp easily to the table and everything has been invaluable!

If you’re thinking of going a little more heavy duty the fab block tables are a great idea

 

That reminds me of the Bluco tables I've used before but very wallet friendly, I'll pick one up.

 

It’s on the medium duty side but I’ve had no problems with it at all. Would I like a build pro table or something? Yes. But fabrication isn’t my full time job so I don’t wanna go that deep
into my pocket for a table haha. I really have liked this table so far! I think you’ll like it too

 

@RickyTaco77 do you already have a tube notcher?

 

I've got a cheap setup for the first few sets. Any recommendations?

 

I have the Eastwood tubing notcher. It has been great for me. Have had it for 3 years now and if you get a good hole saw with it like the Lenox brand holes saws then they’ll last quite a while.

Here’s a link to it

Mine isn't that nice, a soon as I get a few sets sold I'll get something nice.

 

Definitely

 

Still have to take the bumper off and finish the back half.

 

When them heavy wall stainless welds come out so pretty..

 

Damn purdy

 

When I try walk the cup, I trip.

 

Absolutely beautiful

 

Looking forward to another localish, Southeastern, fabricator. Not a ton in the SE currently. Will keep an eye out for future needs.

 

I've always wanted to work for myself and after 20+ years in metalwork I figure I'll give it a shot. I've still got skills if I need a job.

 

The UPS guy wasn't as excited as I was !
