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?

I have been thinking about this project for awhile now!! Finally got it banged out! I have access to a large bandsaw at work, but it is tough for small fab, as the blade is wide and aggressive. This will be a perfect addition to the home shop. Picked the saw up off ebay for just under a benjamin! steel was scavenged from leftovers from a few jobs at work. the main L shaped portion was stick welded, 1x legs were flux cored. remove the 4 screws and the table, and the saw slides right out. Thanks for looking!

sorry the pics are cut off, not sure why. Dont beat up my welds to much guys, I am a begginner. I know alot about the processes, as I have a ton more time to read than practice, but I try my best, and I try to implement the things I read into my practice. My welding has come along way. I have had welds on a few early projects fail :o no worries, no chance for injuries ;) Flux beads just sitting on top of the metal. I have learned a ton here, and very much appreciate it!

Heres a swinging crane I built just before winter. Being pretty new to it, and only having the maxstar 152, was a bit concerned with the thick material, but I am confident it will have no problem with anything I will ever need it to do!

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

I've got a Milwaukee deep cut bandsaw and your idea is a great one. I think I will look real close at how you built yours and build one myself.

thanks guys! If you need any measurements Chuck let me know, I would be happy to share them with you. My design changed a bunch during the build, tough to get it all straight, but i am happy with it. Wish I was in AK!! :)
