Reply:Nice job on the rack. Your work area doesn't look like a good place to be stick welding though. Hope you had somebody on fire watch while you were welding. Guess you didn't start any fires since there appears to be no smoke in the pictures.
Reply:Ok, gotta ask the obvious.  Wouldn't it have been cheaper to buy a rack?  I like it, but if all you're putting on it is light tubing, it seems an off the shelf rack would have worked.Oh, nice work.
Reply:it only cost about $200.00 for the steel, and since he is my employer and i did it while on the clock, it didnt cost him anny more for labor....Could have done it off the clock and charged him but i didnt mind, it gave me a chance to get away from normal work and do something fun...Millermatic 175 MIGMiller Spectrum 375 PlasmaLincoln AC/DC 225 BuzzboxM-Tech NE5 Tube bender withcustom CNC machined 3/4" think main arms

Reply:Looks kinda big though, like it would take ten grand worth of stuff to fill it!Great job!  Bigger is always better...  I weld just to keep my snow plows ready for next Winter!
