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?

For my rod tubes, I made double removable end-caps to take the stubbies out. No stubbie is safe! :twisted:

That will work. :) Jody has a dual cap setup for different length rods from what I remember in one of his videos. You improved on it. I use all my stubbies asap when I can for little insignificant welds or tacks before I grab a new rod.

Make many more tubes than you think you will need. I need to add some to the outside of my carts already. :)

Your's is in tubes? :o Mine is in the recycled tubes that Radnor puts their junk in. My new LWS sells rod by the pound and puts it in bags...sometimes I take it out...sometimes I don't take it out. I just opened a 30 year old box of 4043 rods I got from a retired welder and they work better than the 4043 I just bought new a month ago. Must be the China syndrome.

Here's how I made my rod holder. I used old rectangular tube I saved for such a job. I Blasted the paint off with my HF Blasting cabinet, it did a great job even though the media I was using was medium/fine glass bead.

Thanks guys. I have to keep projects simple because of my limited mobility.
