I watched a documentary years ago around architecture and engineering through the ages or some other boring sounding title.... it was really good. It went at quite a pace and covered how the stones at stonehenge got positioned through to the modern day.
They made a really good point about how...
Good idea that
building the bench as my first project, it’s full of reminders for me when I actually build stuff to use ;)
welding trolleys next........
I’ve clamped it flat, it just springs back when I release the clamps.
suppose I could clamp and then blow torch it. Let it cool in the clamps and then release
Hello all,
so I’ve finished the main build of the welding bench, just need to add some hooks and hangers.
I noticed the top has concaved fairly evenly with peak deflection of 8mm. There are three supports, one each side and one through the middle, these are 25x25x5 angle
I was planning on...
Ahhh think I may have had the gas too low at 8 on the regulator with trigger held aaaaaand when I checked everything the hose had worked off slightly and hissed when I moved the bottle ! So both may have been playing a part in it.
I’ve put the flow checker on the list for the next order.
Are...
I’ve had an intermittent weld porosity on both flat and horizontal welds.
What’s the normal check list for correcting it ?
A few have been torch angle and one was definitely the tip and nozzle need a clean but I’ve corrected these.
The picture is a three inch weld starting between tacks and...
Oh defiantly a learning hobbyist..... got the welder last month and currently building a welding table (mig)
once I’m done with that the misses wants some geodesic frame for the fruiting plants to grow on and an arched walkway for trees to grow up. Intending to use rebar and stick for that.
In...
Helloooo,
I’m finally getting back to my bench project - however - having read a few threads on welding benches I’ve changed my plan slightly.
I’m now going to make the top half slatted (already done) and half solid, b.u.t. to do this I’ll need to join several 150 x 5 plates and 600 long...
