Made me an adjustable rest to prop my hands on when tig welding. It quickly attaches or detaches from my bench and so far I'm very happy with it. Made entirely from stuff out of my scrap bin except the bolt and nut. I would apologize about the mess, but just like desks a clean workbench is a sign of a sick mind
Really I just haven't taken the time to cleanup yet in this shot. Not a particularly difficult or original idea but it definitely makes my work easier.
Cheers

Sure everything here is tacked together with a spool gun or pulsed mig. To keep all the pipes aligned I'll use a straight piece of c channel that I notch for all the perpendicular pipes to pass through.that way you know they're in line. Once everything is tacked strong I'll cut spacers to fit in between each pipe. Then I'll clamp everything down to the table with big pipe clamps and weld it all out in position.cherwolf wrote:Hi mate, just came in to ask, if it is not hard, can you show us the accessories and tricks you use to get all those tubes straight and lined up, before you apply your 50$ welds on `em?5th Street Fab wrote:Stuff from this week
Basically it comes down to securing it down and sequencing your welds so the shrinkage will oppose each other. Then let it cool before unclamping it.

Sorry Josh but your tractor plans just got stolen. I've seen very tough designs to make and this looks fairly simple so when I get around to it-I'll make it.
A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

Some other odds and ends.

I've had to do that here in a pinch to keep running or order materials. I blew through at 30 amps! Luckily I was able to make a patch and find some better material, but had to work fast and be ready to feed the filler.Poland308 wrote:Yeah I was worried about not being enough metal left to work with. But they said try so I tried.
Nice work, I know how frustrating that can be, especially in the ceiling!

Ah yes... The man who wants to learn the hard way. I've never welded aluminum tubing so no pointers or judgment, but you picked the hard way to learn... But then again I beleive you learn something the hard way you do it better the easier way.Bisdremis K. wrote:DSC04119.JPGnew to the forum and to welding in general(about 180lit of argon so far).. this is my practice 40mm aluminum pipe 2.5 mm wall thickes , basically a test post to see how to upload photos, hope it works

You'll like the Fupa, took me a little to get use to pushing the screens in. Yes when welded back purged...

Sam, those look like MY aluminum pipe welds.
Were you drunk? Do you need a trip to the eye doctor?
(That's how I roll...)
Just Kidding. Very nice!
