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?

This table started out as the fabbed together bunch of channel.

And this 5'x10' sheet of 3/8 steel.

Nice bit of re-cycling - it must be nice living where you are - seems like there's plenty of old steel & bits laying around for cheap if you have the ability to use them - no such luck here - last decent scrapyard got shut down a few years back - nothing around now - if I need metal it all has to be bought new which can make side projects real expensive - not sure I'd like how long your winters are though.

For some reason I like it up here.
Been here almost 15yrs.

Lots of auctions, tool loaded yard sales, and deals.

Winters are easily overcome, get a large warm shop.

The bits visible in your photos looks like a nice place to be - in my ignorance the only things I know about your state are from watching Ice Road Truckers / Bering sea gold / Ax Men / Deadliest Catch - these are some of my favorite TV programs - naturally we don't get them here - but that's what piracy is for right ? !!

I am going to have to build me a good table. The only tables I have are a cheap 3' x 2' table from northern tool, very cheap piece of junk now, and a piece of scrap that is about 14"x 4'. I need to start one of these projects. Very nice table.

Gentleman....
Finally got to putting a bottom shelf in.

Got some 17" wide sheets of 3/4' plywood at the dump.
Enjoy the pics, and yes, I'm loving this table!!!!
