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?

here is one of my latest bbq pits.it's all 316 stainless steel 3/16th thick.i took some 3/16th brass brazing rods and twisted them to make the rope for the handle ond to put around the base of the bull horns and also to trim the lid of the pit. i made the bull horns out of 3"90's 2-1/2 90's 2"90's and 1-1/2 90's. i welded the 90's to the shape of the horns then i built up the metal at all the joints and buffed them down to get a smooth transition.jst the horns took my 25 hours to complete.i was going to sell this pit too but ended up keeping it for myself.i drew out the flames and cut them with my plasma cutter(free hand)no cnc .

The pit is nice, a lot of work in the horns. But I'm most impressed by the flames. When I saw them I thought oh yeah those were cut on a plasma table. Before reading they were freehand.

Awesome work!

That is epic - well done.

I can see the invitations now. "Dear friends, you are invited to a BBQ at my place. Please wear sunglasses..."

I like it. If they ask, "Where's the beef?" It's under the horns! Nice work!
