Favorite Welding Projects

[welder_guy]

I am curiours to what everybodys favorite welding project is. post a couple pictures and its story. My favorite welding project was when I was commisioned to make a 6'x6' sign for a company called pakit liqudators. Pakit liqudators is a resell place for old building materials and everything eylse. Its a packrat's paridise. Each leter has a different theme. It took about 25+ hrs to do.

It looks better when you are standing in front of it.

Signs! bumpers! and awards oh my! Cool projects guys I'm with metalmaster I like any project. How cool would that be to see something you built on t.v. Keep them coming.:cool:

[welder_guy]

That award is pretty cool. Even though I don't know what a bash bumber is, but it is cool

[jamscal]

Arc, that is a very cool bumper.

I've built a few and have plans for a few more. I like the complexity of yours.

I built this one for a Toyota Tacoma based on the customer's wishes.

My favorite project is the first one, the last one, the next one, the one after that. etc... etc...etc.....

I really enjoy what I do for a living so they are all my favorite projects. Dave

[wildfire]

I like them all but the one that got the most notice was the Crazy Cart I built awhile back for my DX200. It was a "fun" project with no limitations. I just completed a custom trailer for my Trailblazer 302 that I enjoyed as well. Heck there all fun!:D

This welding table I just finished is my favorite project so far. It adjusts to different heights using a hydraulic floor jack. It's my favorite because now when I do new projects, I won't have to work on the floor of on sawhorses!:D

[arc]

thats a neat table u have there, mine is just a piece of 4x8-1/2 steel and i can barely move it need be.

[JimYoung]

I guess my favorite project was the war eagle, at least it took the most amount of time to make. Each feather line is the strike of a pickaxe. the process of making it is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPiRRiXGJBM

WOW! What is the purpose of the Truck and the Grill guard?

[c wagner]

Wow is right!!!
We gotta know what that truck is for!!!

[Burnindaylight]

it's a Fire truck, I work for a fire a truck dealership and we build them to suit the towns needs, it's called a brush breaker, this one is going to have a 750 gal. water tank on the back with a cafs (Compressed Air Foam System) on the back. It's designed to go right into the forest for the fire and is designed to take down a 10 inch pine. it has a 20,000 lb hyd, winch on the front and 3/8" skid plates all the way under it. it's in the spray booth now, I'll post some more pictures when finished

A couple of years ago one of my friends asked me do do a metal sculpture for thier back yard for a x-mass present for his wife.
I grabbed some scrap 10 guage and wire brushed the rust off and came up with this.

[welder_guy]

That war eagle and the owl are cool. i want one of those fire trucks and i neeeed that table.

I recently started to make another sculpture. it is a small table top geometric holow-form. i will post pics when i take them.

[StillBoostin]

That truck is sweet. The animals are cool to. Next time have the eagle grasping a terrorist with his talons' and your in business. Haven't made anything cool, but my welding cart. And I have already posted a bunch of pics of it on this site. I'm dying to make some cool stuff. I guess I better go by some metal and get to crackin".

Thanks for the comment on the owl.
I just found a better pic of it before I decided to put it on a perch.
I used brass in the eye to give it a little needed something .

Nice work, some of you folks have some real talent.

[fishman]

i always hated the normal height beds and I decided to build my own .I originally planned on notching tubing and making a sunburst pattern .There is no other motive to this bed i just thought it'd be cool to do then when i got finished. I started to call therapists

Here is a trailer I build several years ago using a borrowed Hobart Beta Mig 200. It was quite the project as most of it was done outside on the side drive by my house. This thing is very handy to load the car on and off of, and tows like a dream.

These are two small things my wife wanted to buy, at four times the price that I could make them, so I made them.

All the projects here look very good guys.

Nice trailer dave...

Thank you! I'm pretty proud of it and get a lot of comments about it.

[welderman23]

[fendermender]

Yep.
More excellent stuff posted here!
My wife loves tables like those and I like trailers and heavy equipment.
And those custom bumpers are the best!

Here is a fan mount/guard that I had to do up because of a new radiator.
It is done in stainless (my first). Getting the fan (plastic) and the mated motor to turn without eating itself was tough.
Started out trying to tig it then went and bought a roll of stainless wire for my DVI. It came out well and functions nicely. Now that the engine is out, I can get it cleaned and polished!
