Welding bench project
 

Just dropping in on RCM from the real world-
Here's some pictures of a welding bench I zapped together:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze4wqsm/index.html
There are two quick pages of photos and just a small amount of text.
The idea was to have a bench sturdy enough to support some weight, but small
enough not to suck up a lot of floor space when not in use.
Hope you all like it.

Very nice Carl Good use of materials. Have you considered another
shelf above the welder for consumables such as rod, and some place to
keep your clamps and whatnot?

I like the bracing, it looks classy.

If the welder(s) never left the shop, I'd have done just that. Instead I
group tools and supplies into multiple small toolboxes (especially stuff for
the MIG) so I can grab 'n go.
Never tell anyone you own a welder g.

Thanks. I spent more time on the braces than anything else- get one a little
off and it sticks out like a sore thumb. They're all +- 1/16 inch and +- 1
deg. of each other.

If you dont mind, Ill email you a few pictures of my first TIG
project. A simple multi shelf unit that holds my rods and wires in a
semi orderly fashion...G It hasnt collapsed yet.

Want to see my welding area? I can include a few pictures you might
find interesting.

Only sent on your approval.

Looks good- great way to use up dead space.
