Reply:Nice work. I like the alternating heights of the tips.You get what you put in and people get what they deserve...
Reply:Looks very good.About the table, one of the best ornamental guys I ever knew did all his jigging and tacking on plywood. Nobody could keep up with the guy.Matt
Reply:Looks good!  Should last a long time.
Reply:Thanks guys for the compliments.... Yeah, a guy quoted me like 10K$ so that was my motivation to take it on. I didn't realize how much work it was but I still think I can do it for way less than that. Plus I got a welding machine out of it! Thinking about going for the Miller 211 soon though... I'm hooked...More to come!BTW, this forum is awesome!Lincoln 140 Weldpak

Reply:Great project. I always opt for doing it myself if it will save money. I usually get some nice tools out of the deal as well.Garden ornamentals got me a new Miller 212. Hard to beat that. Now I just have to wonder what I need to do to get the new Syncrowave. Regards,RobGreat Basin WeldingInstagramBlue weldersRed weldersMy luscious Table DIY TIG Torch cooler

Reply:Nicely done. That jig looks super familiar. Plywood is the go-to jig for projects like this. Light and cheaper than steel( ....yeah I know guys, ten hail Mary's....) I've done head/foot board jigs, and cd/wine rack jigs with plywood too. Good stuff!200amp Air Liquide MIG, Hypertherm Plasma, Harris torches, Optrel helmet, Makita angle grinders, Pre-China Delta chop saw and belt sander, Miller leathers, shop made jigs etc, North- welders backpack.
