Thats awesome!

That’s awesome! Love chain art. I’m working on some moto and bicycle chains right now.

Time to start marking the bottles...

And, here is one from last winter. A kitchen helper. 1in tubing and walnut scraps.

Finally finished a pirate chest that’s been a work in progress for a few months. Mild steel mig and tig welded with a black oxide finish and oak. Name tag was silicon bronze on mild steel.

Thanks Richard.

Another beginner project finished. Posting to give some other beginners more project ideas.

Window well cover with escape hatch so the kiddos and doggos don't plunge into the pungie sticks.

Thanks Pete. Haven't been on here in a while, so just saw your post.

Cheers.

Thanks Tbaugh. Glad to give others ideas. I got this bench design and idea from someone else as well.

Welcome Ben from a fellow Calgarian. I'd love to see that giant waterjet in action.

As CJ737 said, just run a dedicated 230V line, or even install a subpanel in the garage. Those are cheap and can get one at any of the box stores. You still might exceed the 100A total like CJ said though.

Just curious if the table tops are made from oak van truck flooring? I have done work in a local plant that manufactures it and have heard of people finishing it but have never seen the end results. Whatever you used it all turned out very nice. :?: No, I found some cheesy really old 70's or 80's c...

Finished another beginner project this weekend. Pretty happy how it turned out and my MIG technique is getting much better. There is no replacement for burning wire to get better that's for sure. Now we can creep on neigbours in style...

I bought this one last year, which looks exactly like what you're thinking as well. I love it, once I replaced the crappy stock blade with a bi-metal blade. It did take me a bit of time to setup to make sure it cut square and I had to adjust my cutting technique to make sure I didn't apply too much ...

I am suspect of the strength of those rod holders. Typically, they're made form schedule 40 and fully welded down their sides. I couldn't see welds more than tacks at top and bottom. If they're only for use while running, then no big deal. But if your FIL trolls those reels from those holders, you ...

Thanks guys.

Tig'ed it with the SW200. And finally installed it on my father in-laws blue fin tuna boat this past week.

Looks awesome.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to learning from you all.

New guy from Calgary here. Pumped to learn some tricks from the experts.

Well, first post on this forum, might as well introduce myself with some pictures. I'm a beginner hobby welder and my mojo is to always practice on something that is useful. My first project was with a borrowed 120V flux core welder to build myself a work bench a year and a half ago. This led to me ...
