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?

Front grill off a cat dozer.

Rest of the table is 2x2 quare tubing. 1/8 wall.

The rest is raw skill.

Were those some 6013's laying on the floor? Looks nice, I always like taking old stuff and re purposing it. Like the idea of the dozer grill.
It's always best to build your own, especially when it comes to hitches!!!

Yes,
I started out using 6013.
I got so fn sick of them, I thru them in the trash.
I used 7018 and 8010 for the rest.

I'll get the pics up as soon as possible.

It's finished.

I need to take pictures of our carry all I re did. I welded a hook to the top of it to hook a chain to and did some bracing. I used 7010 and capped with 7018. It turned out pretty good.

About $20 I do believe. It has been a while since I bought rods because I get them for free from my brother in law mostly now.

That's because they were getting rid of the 7018 to make room for the 6013 ;)
