Welding Projects

I've run out of projects to build with my arc welder. There's plenty of more plans I've found, but nothing that I need or want. I've made a pull-up bar for the corner of the garage, done some small repairs on things, and my big project-- building a grill/smoker using a 55 gallon drum. I know there's got to be some welders here in the TFP, so please post your projects, no matter how big or small, plans/pictures or just a description. I'll be replying soon with pictures of my projects within the next few days.

Do you deer hunt? Deer stands are big in south GA. If you have kids how about a swingset. I saw one once made of large pipe cut at 45 degrees and welded together. Lots of things.

There are alot of wine racks candle holders etc that can be made quiet easily and there is a very good market for them if you want to sell a few
Here is a link to some accessories that we import, and you can make some beautiful stuff from. they are not very expensive

Sculptures for your garden (if they are good). Sculptures for your neighbor's front yard (if they are bad).

This was my first welding project: a pull-up bar in the corner of our garage.



I had a little trouble getting the pipe clamped against the angle and ended up just standing on the pipe while I welded. It went up perfect, just as I had measured. The holes lined right up with the studs. And seeing as it hasn't broken loose and killed me yet, I think I did good. One thing I would change is to a larger diameter pipe. This one seemed a good size when I got it, but it's just barely too small to be comfortable. I put some grip tape on it and it helped.

Here's my grill project. It's 90% complete. I've still got to put a shelf on the bottom, and add handles. I've used it a lot and it works great for smoking pork shoulders.

Could you describe your smoker a little more ? I have been thinking (after having home made jerky on the weekend) that it would be cool to build a smoker.

I am thinking something small, mainly for jerky or maybe fish. What are the options for creating heat ? Propane/elect/other ?

Here's where I got the idea for mine. There's a few minor changes I made, but not too many.


http://www.lincolnelectric.com/knowl...ontent/bbq.asp


On mine the right 3/4 is grilling surface and the left 1/4 is a griddle, for cooking up bacon or eggs to top burgers. When I'm smoking, I remove the griddle and build the fire there, and keep the meat on the grill. A pan of water under the meat keeps the moisture. The smoke travels across the meat on it's way out the chimney.

This is for rather large items. If you want something smaller you can use any grill as a smoker. Just set the coals and wood chips off to the sides of the grill with a pan of water in the middle.


oh, and for heat I always use charcoal and wood chunks. You can use gas if you get a box for wood chips.

Woah, those grills are sweet!
I built a bike stand for fixing my bike.
I have also made numerous car exhaust parts with my welder (but that was an oxy-acethaline). It sure saved me a bundle.
You could build a go kart (my next project).
I guess i manly use my welder to make racks and shelves for my stuff--sure beats wood!
