Welding Tips and Tricks

These pics are from my first real project. I did not realize how hard it would be to keep metal square I have some 36 inch clamps and some small ones also but now I wish I had the money for one of those nice welding tables with all the clamps and goodies. Any advice from you guys that have done this for years would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from Kentucky.

hi m8. if your struggling to keep metal square when your welding it make sure you put 2 good tacks on both sides of the metal your welding. if you start to weld one side and let it cool it will make the other side lift due to the metal shrinking, make sure all your cuts are square and your clamps are in the rite place aswell.
