Anything welding

Ah! I was wondering what that was when it was pictured with the firewood rack. Nice!

 

Good points. Thank you. I may just wait a while and see if my needs change

 

At first I thought it was some crossfit contraption.

 

I went to get some practice on my flux core welder today and laid down about 3 beads before I ran out of wire

 

I think that's happened to all of us

 

My local junkyard has these cool carts. I’d like to make one someday when I am able to weld thicker metals. Is front axle custom made or does anyone recognize this as something that was repurposed for this cart?

 

It's custom.

Those hub/spindles are just any front wheel drive car rear hubs with ears welded on to make a location for king pin.

 

Something you only hopefully do once.

Like having a big welding Project set up for a 3 day Holiday Weekend for what ever reason run out of shielding gas the first 10 minutes of welding .

Before having learned to have Extra cylinders !!

 

Oh man I've been there before. Won't make that same mistake again.

 

Exactly what happened to me lol. Wasnt 3 day weekend but our recent snow "storm" and day 1 remembered i was out of gas. 4-5 days I coulda been welding but wasnt. But it was fine since I had plenty of other stuff to do

 

Did a whole lot of welding today, and had a blast doing it. Rear shock relocate for myself and CMC for a local member.

 

Damn great job!!

 

Thanks! That's like my 12th CMC so I'm getting good at em, and my second shock relocate. Worst part is cutting the stock mounts off.

 

Built 2 sets of sliders today. Tired

 

Haha yeah shock relocation sucks. Didn’t enjoy doing my own

 

Here’s my dad’s old welder. I remember it from when I was a kid so it’s prolly at least 40 years old.

I wonder how much Montgomery Wards sells these for now?

 

It is a Lincoln Private label for Monkey Wards gotta be Millions of that model made

 

What does everyone do here in order to make cuts greater than a 45 degree angle? I'm currently having to resort to an angle grinder and cut off wheel to get the 75 degree cut I need on some round tube in order to cope it some square tubing. I'm sure there must be a more elegant solution to this other than just buying a CNC tube cutting machine. Haha.

 

Band saw. Portable ones work great

 

I was thinking that could be a possibility. I've got a 4x6 horizontal band saw and it works great. May have to break down and get a porta band now.
