Welding Tips and Tricks

I was watching Jody welding on his Crummy fixture and thought I'd like to have one, but $$$ is tight (always!). I live not far from a metal recycler who let's me wander the yard. There's also an aero space machine shop close by. Here's a few pics of the things I found a few months ago. The steel plates are all drilled 1/2"-13 and the ally plate is 1/4"-20. I gave hime $10 for all three!

That's better than finding Noah's arc. They will take a week or two to wear out too. If you can find more, I might make a road trip from PA. Won't take much arm twisting to get it done.

That would have been a good day to go buy a lottery ticket ............or three.

Nice find, great price
