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?

At work, sometimes I'm busy and sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I make things out of scrap metal that the company doesn't ask me to make. They know about this and they don't discourage it -- it's great practice and they know I always come through for them at all critical times. I traced a Telecaster body onto cardboard at home and brought it to work. Material, all of which had been destined for the scrap bin: 1/8" aluminum mill plate for the top and bottom.

I'm pretty handy with a band saw.

Getting these pieces to fit up was @#$% difficult.

The sides were 1/16" thk aluminum. This was mostly fusion welding without wire except for when needed to fill small gaps.
No purging and no way to use chill plates due to the shape.
