I'm building something.  I traded a hunk of redwood slab I had for enough cash to buy an entry level mig / flux core wire welder, cart, helmet and wire.  I'm teaching myself to weld and this is my first project.

My materials consist of a brute heavy Christmas tree stand Tammy's dad built years before he died, a model T driveshaft I found in the woods in da U.P. and a 11" 60 pitch sprocket that's been laying around for years in my junk pile.

So what could a guy build from those 3 things?  :)

Well, it depends.  Do you already have something in mind that you want us to guess or are you looking for suggestions?

If you already have something in mind, there is no way we could possibly guess what lurks in your head :D

However, if you are looking for an idea, perhaps a mail box stand?

Oh no, I know what it's going to be. Actually almost is now. All good guesses, but nothing really close. Cept maybe Jupiter. :D

Now there is a better idea than I had! Other than if I need a bar stool, all I need is to go to www.ritelegco.com

Nothing so special.  Clue: It is something in support of something else.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! :D :D (with taters)

I'll post pictures after I'm done grinding my beginner welds down. Don't want you guys zooming in on them.  I do know this, they are going to hold. ;)

See, we are now at food.

Jeff - those welds are known by me as gorilla welds...big strong and ugly.  Pretty welds don't mean they're strong welds, never be ashamed of your steel gluing habits!  :D

I've decided to leave it just as it is. No grinding, no polishing or painting. I'm going to leave it just as it is so I can look back later to compare future projects to my first. Not saying they will get better, but I'll at least know if it's time to quit. :D
