Welding Tips and Tricks

This was my first project which I finished a few weeks ago. I managed to make something useful out of forty feet of angle iron that I purchased several months ago.

That's a Beaumont Metal Works KMG grinder (made right here in central OH). I thought the welding aspect went pretty well, but I found out I need a better/ bigger welding table. I bought one of those folding Harbor Freight tables on sale which was OK for holding practice pieces but fell short when assembling this. I wound up just laying it out on the garage floor.

Nice job with the stand. What I really like is the belt sander. I've never seen one like it and I've got belt sander envy.

NIce! I have belt sander envy too.

I'm joining the Belt Sander Envy queue.

Compared to your belt sander, mine looks small, insignificant and ineffectual.

Good job.
Yes, it is always nice to have a welding table to assemble projects. Wheels make a big difference between weld time and your wife wanting the garage back.
Carry on!

Yes, it's indeed a great job.
Welding table really helps in assembling different projects. I always make use of welding table.

What makes you think that (just wondering)

Here is my grinding station. I have the same grinder since 9 months and love it's versatility!
A front and back view of the whole setup.



I made a little tube notching attachment to go along with it.
