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?

I recently ran across some reclaimed Douglas Fur a few weeks back for a somewhat reasonable price. It came off a dam when the dam was torn down and supposedly is around 90 years old. I'm not much of a wood worker but I wanted to try my hand at building an industrial table. Here is what I've come up with so far...

I spent a ridiculous amount of time taking the mill scale off in order to try my hand with this metal finish system.

The base is tig welded with regular ER-70 but all the 'face' welds are silicon bronze.

I'm back on the dinning room tressel table today. I'm really happy with the way the stretcher turned out. I brought it inside to get an idea of how it will look. I'm leaning towards just clear coating it. What do you guys think?

Very nice. I have a large oak live edge slab, router planed, that at some point I need to build the table undercarriage for. I was thinking of something along the line of yours and now I see how good it looks. The "rivet" look is distinctive and I wondered if you epoxied on short carrage bolts in pre drilled holes or used something different?

Fantastic work. I not long finished a table for my Mother in Law, similar design but gloss black powder coating and an old door for the top.

Lol, a dunny door gave me the idea. This one was second hand so it may well be one. No malice intended with mine though

The table is almost complete. I ended up sending the base out to be painted satin black.

how did you fasten those breadboard ends?
hope they are not glued end to end or it will cause
cross grain issues.

The pink tool bench is my 2 young daughters. I try to give them projects to do while I'm out working.

The breadboard ends are drawboard mortis a tenon joints.
