Some of my welds are getting better since I watched Jodys mig welding videos.
I needed a sawbuck to cut a lot of fallen limbs into firewood. I had an old gate given to me and was going to scrap it. It was pretzeled, not a straight piece in it as it had been hit by a vehicle moving pretty fast. I cut it into pieces and sledge hammered them into a semblance of straight. Welded it up with my Miller autoset 180 using c25 and .030 wire. Ugly as a dirt road but it works. I need to find some material to cap the tubing to keep water and wasps out.

Looks like it oughta do the job just fine. I love it when old metal is given another life as some new project. Nice work.

"Ugly as a dirt road" 
If you knew where I grew up...
Dirt roads are beautiful, as are repurposed pieces that would otherwise go in the scrap heap.
Well done.

I learned to drive on dirt roads, no gravel even on some of them.Otto Nobedder wrote:"Ugly as a dirt road"

I have some motorcycle and four wheeler shipping pallels and they have some caps on them that I can cut off. They are a snug slip on 1 1/2 " tubing. If needed I can tack them. Thanks for the reply it made me remember the pallets.GlenC wrote:The simple way to cap the ends is with pressed steel post caps!
