It's a custom ladder for the front of a boat trailer. It fastens down to two I-beams where they come together. There is also a winch post it needs to clear and a trolling motor. It's so the owner can launch the boat single handed. So he can get into the boat from the front after the trailer is backed into the water. It gets a piece of non-skid decking on the top and the oval rungs are ribbed on top and they are clocked level.
And look at o'l blue there in the background. Still spit'n em out without a complaint. I do actually wipe her down, take the covers off and blow all the dust out periodically.
Look at all the junk on the table it takes to do these little things. If I remember right, it got a nipple between the braces and the ladder. It was gone before I could get installed pics.
I suck at taking photos but you can see the two 1/4" x 4" plates on the bottom that it will get bolted thru. They are each welded complete on three sides, let in flush with the bottom of the frame.
I really do still have a lot of fun at this.
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?

That looks great! I almost wish I owned a boat!
I don't know how much your dog sheds, but whenever I would take the covers off my ol' blues to blow them out, there was always dog hair in them.

Dog hair, dust bunnies, a cigarette cellophane or two and peanut shells. A rat had found a way in and enjoyed a rather large meal of peanuts inside my welding machine. Luckily it didn't gnaw any of the insulation off of the wires like they so often do.
