Welding Tips and Tricks

Hey guys new to the forum. Have spent the last couple hours browsing thru posts and a lot of good work on here. Just wanted to post up a photo of a rear bumper I made for my Silverado. My original bumper was deteriorating away and I had the aluminum laying around and end product turned out really nice. made of sch 80 pipe, 3/8" flat bar for the mount and the mid section between the pipe. Expanded metal to add a nice look. I made this about 4 years ago and I didn't really take too many progress photos, just the final product. It's holding up good.

Welcome to the forum. That's a nice looking bumper. Good job.
Cheers.

Bumper looks great man! You just had happened to have some aluminum on hand? Looks like your in the dock making biz with all the aluminum on your rack. lol
