Welding Tips and Tricks

The risers are 3X 3/16 square, the platen is 4" heavy channel. The one rolled channel's flange had to be milled, brought down with heavy clamps and re-welded so the flange would be at the same elevation as the other side's flange. My SIL welded it, but I taught him though.

Looks great. And two tone paint job to boot. I like the hydraulic power pack, where did you get that and how much was it?

Thanks electrode. Sorry I couldn't post individual pictures of the project, but the website won't allow MP4 videos, so I had to link to my photobucket account.

Here's the link to the pump, I bought mine last summer for the same money.

My Black Hawk porta power is a 1995 ish model, yours might not need an adapter to hook the cylinder to the pump. I needed one, It took awhile to get to me, I thinking around three weeks, but it was only $21 and change when I bought mine.

No worries on the extra pics, I watched the slideshow on your PB account. You can always link to the mp4 on you tube in the future. Thanks for the info on the pump and the adapter.

Glad I could help.
