Welding Tips and Tricks

I've recently joined the forum, I see how people here are so helpful with one another. I am a student and here is some of my work outside of class trying to improve my fabrication skills.

By the way I don't know why and how the pictures are sideways.

Welcome to the forum.

I love the kokopelli fire pit, great job. How long did it take to fabricate the security door ? The first time I saw one of these was last march at my inlaws place in mesa az. I was totally intrigued, a screen door that doubled as a security door. Whodathunkit?

The door took me about 3 weeks, doing it outside of my classes and it was my first time bending the square tubing. Also I was bending it with a vise, small pulley and a 25lb weight. When I find time I want to make a hand crank tube roller.

This is another project I just finished for my neighbors. It is going to be apart of a memorial for their late son.
