Reply:Welder.man that is one great looking tool. Just love those home built ones. they last forever and if they break, you fix'em yourself I think one of the most used tools I've built and posted here was a home built tubing notcher. I use it a lot and it's worked perfectly.http://snagsblog.com/Forum/phpBB3/vi...php?f=34&t=786Miller 302 Trailblazer/Custom TrailerMillermatic 350P/Spool gunMillermatic 252Miller Spectrum 875Miller Dynasty200DxHypertherm Powermax 85Tracker CNC 4X8 Pro Table (Down Draft)Visit us @ www.specialtyrepairscustommods.com
Reply:I'm very much a novice wannabe weldor and fabricator, but this was the first thing i've made so far. It's a "creeper" to put your tools on when your underneath a vehicle working. You can push it aroudn with you while you roll around on your own creeper. Just some angle iron for a frame, sheet metal for the tray, and casters I bought at home depot. Painted if flat black and used truck bed liner on the tray.

aul I remember your pipe notcher and it is still on my list to build one. It looks great.fluxcorekid I think that is a great idea, If I built one I will have to go off road rubber as I don't have much concrete around here to work on.SimonLabel EverythingMetal Fabrication - Welding Repairs - Wrought Iron - Sign Writing - Custom Decals.

Reply:Welder man, sweet bender, how'd you make your dies? I'm looking to build a bender also, I really don't feel like shelling out a few hundred for the bender and more yet for the dies.- If you can jump across it you can weld it! - anonymous old boilermaker
Reply:thefluxcorekid,That tool creeper would sure come in handy to hold a drain pan for oil changes. I gotta have one of those. Welderman, Your bender in now on my list, too. Thanks for posting.Last edited by Weldordie; 12-21-2008 at 01:00 AM.

Reply:Heres a picket twister I built. Its kinda hacked together, and you'll notice that one of the legs is cut right above the motor .....Its been sitting for a while, as you can tell.....
Reply:Originally Posted by welder.manI turned the dies out of solid round bar for one bender, the other larger bender I cut three disks from plate the middle disk being larger than the other two.
