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?

Here's a cart I designed and I am fabricating for 3 different setups for a piece of equipment at work. All stainless steel...

Nice work.

Making frames like this always refreshes my basic skills. Especially if I have to purpose design the finished product, and then all of the details. From freehand sketch to finished steel, with a tolerance of 1mm. Well, that's the target, anyway.

People new to welding should make lots of accurate, tidy frames. It is not pipe welding, or boiler making, but it is a growth point we all need to attain.

Thanks for putting this up.

Thanks...
Yes although fundamental from a fab project I love stuff like this. Finding the perfect orientation and organization of the tools is rewarding.

You be surprised how many guys can't make frames square and true, I take pride in this type of stuff.
