Welding Stand

[aland]

This will be the first project with my little welder, kind of a corny project but something I can use right now.

I picked this piece of 3" tube, with a 8"x8"x3/8" plate on each end.



I got this from SIMS surplus at $0.65/lb. It weighs about 30 lbs, but they felt sorry for me and gave it to me for 20 lbs. LOL

Then I got this piece of 5/8" plate, it's 11.5" x 12". It may weigh about 20 lbs also, I'm not exactly sure.



I'm just going to stick weld it using 7018. A bit late for stick welding so will do that tomorrow, I need to do that outside.

I will use this mostly for practice, but can use it for a small welding stand.

I'll add a couple pics after I weld it tomorrow.
