    Do you ever ....

    .... just dig thru the scrap pile, pull out some steel and start welding it together? It was a nice day today, so that's what I did ....



    So what have you stuck together with the remnants of left over steel?

      Yep. Good looking table, my welding table is made up from some scrap square tubing and a semi truck wheel for a base, it's almost immovable. Yours looks like it could be moved easily.


      I also built a plant stand made up of an old Dana 60 inner axle a large round valve handle and some strap steel.

                          Nice work!

                          I walk by the scrap metal dumpster at work pretty often - recently I scored over 200lb of rectangular and square tubing from the local fab shop - at $0.45 / lb -- I may have enough to build a bumper for the superduty...

                                          The biggest project I pulled from the scrap pile and started welding is a 65 GTO. Otherwise I make all kinds of stuff out of scrap metal laying around. I still have enough to build a T bucket, if I can get around to it with all the other projects.
