Hi all
After spending the afternoon in the garage in a haze of smoke and welding arcs i have decided that my first few Mig projects are going to be
1) A portable welding table, oK I was thinking of buying one of those cheap £9.99 folding work benchs (the black and decker type ones) then instead of putting the two wooden pieces on that you get with it, i was going to visit my friendly car body repair shop (Im thinking Summer dress and pig tails this time) and see if they just happen to have a nice piece of say 1/4 inch plate hanging around (I know for a fact they do) that they could "sell" me for cheap. Then all i have to is weld that to the brackets where the wooden bits go, weld a small length of tubing at the corner for a torch holder and two other small bits of tubing undernieth as a simple pipe bender and there you go.
2) Some wall brackets made out of box section so i have somewhere to put spare metal lengths
3) A bench press, i have built one of these before so i know what i need, however i have found a few designs on the net that look interesting so i might have a go at one of them
Well there go
Feel free to add your ideas
