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?

John,
Thanks for the pictures. That looks like a lot of hard work there. I will say good job. The only thing is the backer plate is not necessarily needed but it won't hurt anything. Keep us posted in your projects, I for one look forward to the pics.

Looking good so far.
But it's hard to say, without knowing what the final product needs to look like. [WINKING FACE]
