Anything welding

Just made up some brackets to get stuff off the floor.

 

Good job Derek.
I just built some racks for holding sticks of tube, and slider pieces in my shop a few weeks ago. Best decision for organizing the shop i've made in a while. Puts the all the tube at an easier height to pick up, made it easy to see exact stock of the different sizes Ive got on hand, and freed up some space/removed clutter.

 

Yea, unfortunately I don't have enough space for something like that so everything is on it, for now.

 

Rack looks good man, nice job!

I havnt made much latly, just a hitch step..

 

Racks and a step. Both great projects!

 

Working on some sliders for the local boys.







They are bolt on. All holes used are existing. I was actually able to tap two holes on the angle piece and bolt directly to frame as opposed to a nut. All others are bolt/nut.

 

derek, thanks for the steel racks idea, it really allowed me to clean up my garage. i didn't weld anything for mine, just bent 3 pieces or tube into a "C" shape. same idea though.

 

Good deal!

 

how i spent my day.


turned out really nice

 

very nice. Must be nice having perfectly cut steel to work with

 

Cut on a computer guided plasma table.

 

i built this to replace my cardboard box holding my scrap metal... cardboard doesnt hold up to well.

my scrap bin

 

those little plug/caps on the ends..... are they plastic or metal?

 

plastic. keep you from ripping a pair of jeans or worse if you snagged it. . . . . . . or so i think.

edit: and to prevent unwanted water and airflow which results in oxidation.
edit 2: and sub'd. i love welding

 

it just gets old capping stuff like that. it'd be nice to be able to pop a plastic cap in for something like that and not have to spend the extra time cutting steel and welding it in.

 

those are plastic

 

subbed

 

Is that just angle iron?
