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?

Hey guys just thought I'd show some pics of a trailer I built. Took me about a week of nights after work to get it done. I bought a dynasty 200dx used from the LWS rep that drops by our shop. Built a nice cart for it then decided to tackle the trailer to get some tig and stick practice. Tig welded all the uprights on the trailer and tool box. Stick on the rest.Image Image Image Image Image

Thank you. It was a fun build. Got to try out my new machine a bit and made something that's real useful to have. Looked at trailers for quite awhile before building this, was never satisfied with them they all seemed to be welded poorly and under built to me. Granted I over killed the crap out of mine. the frame is 4C on the sides that I notched and bent for the tongue. the internal structure is 2"X 2" X 1/8".

That should last the distance. Looks good, too.

Well done.

Thanks to all for the complements. Very nice to hear that people who know something about fabrication and welding appreciate it. ;) Props to Jody as well. Couldn't have done it with out his Guidance. Could have mig welded this in my sleep. But would have learned nothing. Again thanks for the support

Looks good jimbob. What did you deck it with, planks, plywood, steel :?:
Go break something, then you can weld it back the right way.

I used 2x8 redwood. Painted it with a water sealer to help it last longer.

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

I purchased the whole kit online. Comes with all the stuff but the steel for the frame and what ever you use for the deck. Truckandtraileracceries.com they have lots of options to choose from even called to make sure I ordered the right width axel.
