Default 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.

-Carl

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.

I like the bracing, it looks classy.


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.

All good stuff. Thanks.
