Christmas Tree Stand, built to last forever.

admin

I wanted to share a picture of a Christmas tree stand I built.  I had a propane tank that I had cut into a tall bucket some years ago.  Yes, I did purge the tank very well before cutting it. I shortened it to the central seam and welded it to a piece of 3/8 plate for stability.  I used threaded rod and tapped pieces of rectangular stock welded inside under the lip formed by the seam.  I tacked nuts onto the ends of the threaded rod and gave it a coat of some very shiny black paint.  I also welded two points in the center bottom to hold the tree trunk.  This welding project was my reward for finishing a 30 week course in computer networking.  The blue collar side of my life had been neglected lately.  Have a great new years everyone.  Paul Attached Images
