It’s several pieces of metal welded together. Otherwise known as good practice.

I’ll PM you my address [emoji1787][emoji1787]

In case my first correct answer doesn’t qualify. My guess would be it’s to hold a spool of electrical wire. I’ve seen my election buddies use something like that.

Hints: It's for me, and not a customer. It will be partially painted. It's heavy...1/4" thick flat bar for the base.

Can’t guess what that is, but what you’re using to fabricate it sure looks purty! ;) Handy too. 8-)

Getting a bit warm, but can't label anything as a correct guess just yet. I'll give it til this evening and then whoever was "close enough" first will get the Jazzy 10 kit.

CJ - Indeed. That fixture plate rocks!

I think mine are too old and not stored properly, so they're crap. I don't have enough need to stick weld so buying more rod just to play with probably isn't going to happen. It's all good, I have other options!

First thing that came to mind is it mounts onto the back of a welding cart so you can feed 50lb spools of wire to a smaller machine that can only take smaller spools.

Alright, I'm going to give the win to Walz10 for the first closest guess of wire spooler. Just a bit more utilitarian in nature than JayWal's guess of toilet paper holder...which I guess was also close :lol:

It's a spooler to hold those massive/heavy 8" diameter label rolls for feeding into a printer. Walz10, PM me an address, and I'll get that Jazzy 10 ceramic kit sent out to you.

Looks good! Digging the CNC cuts. Especially like how it's giving me the finger WV style ;)

I wonder what state the OP is from.
No sense dying with unused welding rod, so light 'em up!

I’m guessing east of the Mississippi River.
I have more questions than answers

Advanced auto sold me a serpentine belt that was 2mm short. I snapped the grip for rotating the the tensioner pulley. Too cheap
to buy a new one I built it back up and ground a sloppy hex for the socket.

I missed this thread. Was always neat to see what people are up to.

Will try and snap some more pics of what I do in a day then remember to pop em onto here.

I hope others help me out and bring this thread back to the top like it always was when I joined.
