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 |

I like the bracing, it looks classy. Gunner "Considering the events of recent years, the world has a long way to go to regain its credibility and reputation with the US." unknown |

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. -Carl |
