What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

well i got tired of hurting my back and having to drag 20'+ lengths of material or very heavy 8'x4" pieces of D2 across the yard into the main shop or my shop. so I built this holder to carry the other end for steel lengths or balance in the middle for awkward aluminum ones. helps me get the on the saw when its setup in my doorway. I also was dreading the winter "portage" through 2' snow drifts in the same manner.

made of 2"x3/16' angle some 5/8' rod for the shafts and some 1"x1" square tube for supports and some cheapo wheels from princess auto.

I had a literal pile of those wheels in my shop and decided to make something out of them, I didn't really measure much and the height is from my heel to my palm so i don't have to bend down or lift up too much. and it is intended to be used with a chain wrap set of vicegrips so I can attach multiple pieces or secure it at the end of a long one without it falling off.
