Anything welding

My daughter wanted to play with the plasma cutter and the welder so I had her cutting and welding horse shoes to make hooks for a coat rack my wife wants. They'll get nailed to an old piece of barn wood.
Good practice because it's not structural or important and it's not even supposed to look pretty

 

Defined engineering used to make one like that or maybe they still do, I'm surprised more people don't run them since it's quick easy and provides good support. Yours looks awesome!

 

Finally finished shooting Mandalorian season 2 after 7 months and now I’m back to working at home for a little bit! Needed a break. Been itching to get back to fabricating again.

Finished up 1 of the 25 sets of sliders today that I have to build.

 

My school was a haze all day long when i was taking classes over the summer

 

I actually have a Defined brace. I will be adding gussets on the new one though. Other than that, only a few ways to skin a cat.

 

Screw the sliders.
The Mandalorian better be good or I'm blaming you.

 

hahaha I think you’ll enjoy it!

 

That's awesome!

I sure hope my kids want to mess around in the shop with me when they get older.

 

I picked up a load of steel to get my expo glamper build going. Also have Timbrens and some other stuff of the way too!


I figured I'd ask this forum since you all are such a knowledgeable bunch. Can anybody recommend some good quality heavy duty drawer slides for building refrigerator and stove slideouts? Also going to have a rear door that opens to the side that will have a drop down counter top. Any benifits of using continuous piano hinge vs a couple heavy duty ramp door style hinges?

Thanks!!

 

cant offer any advice on the drawers, but I used steel weld-on hinges from Tractor supply for my swingout table. They are darn strong.

 

I wish you would have asked about what iron to use. That is some way thick metal. You didn't need that thick of material.

No biggie, she'll just be a little heavy.

 

I was back a forth on the steel a bunch and decided to overkill it a bit lol. The .250 wall will be the main draw bar and run down the center if the trailer to where the axle crossmember is. The 11 gauge will make up the majority of the frame. It wont be a real expo rock crawling trailer due to the size (15' bumper to coupler). I don't actually overland, I call it extended deep woods glamping. I was beating the shit out of our 25' Jayco travel trailer and wanted something where I can carry around 60 gallons of water and bring stupid stuff along like a pellet smoker, and of course enough battery power to run a pellet smoker all day lol.

* they gave me almost 5' of the cut off from the .250 wall I won't be using. Not sure if they knew that? The other .250 2x3 is what timbren recommends for the axle-less crossmember.

 

Best of Luck !!

Lets hope it was out of China Before the virus started

 

I don't have that one, but I bought the same brand a year ago.
New Weldpro 200 Amp Inverter...

$770 Weldpro 200 Amp Inverter Multi Process Welder with 3 Year Warranty Dual Voltage 220V/110V Mig/Tig/Arc Stick 3 in 1 welder/welding machine

FWIW, it's been working well for me.
I'm not a heavy user, but I've had it running on 220 at the house and even drug it out to a barn and ran it on 110 there.

 

The point was that many factories are closed. If the welder was not already in the states, there could be a delay on delivery.

On the plus side, your card is really not charged until the item is delivered.

 

He’s probably referring to it being stuck on a ship or in China where it’s manufactured

 

Exactly.

 

You beat me to it

 

It was meant to mean if it was out of China.

We have been advised parts from China might be delayed .
