A few pics of a gate I built at work

admin

Welding it on siteBad pic of the primer but everything lined upFinish paintThe plate that I welded the hinges to is threw-bolted to the columns.If a truck or something hangs up on it they will need a mason to fix it lolThis morning the guy laying the carpet had some handrails he wanted some tabs welded on.I'm thinking ok well we both can weld but one guy only owns a grinder and use's the company's welder.But I've invested in all the tools to do the work...pay rent on a shop etc...He's talking to the other guy about it and I'm like so how do you plan on doing this?Anyway the guy followed me to my shop and I fixed him up.It just piss's me off when some guys want to play the game without paying their dues.Last edited by IamVince; 11-20-2010 at 06:38 PM.

Reply:Gate looks nice. I like the "shelter" you guys built. 1 question...What about all the over spray on the concrete?You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else. Albert Einstein

Reply:Neat gate. Did you get a pic of your latching method? They'd have some nice views there if they didn't have all that verticle power cutting across the sky .."The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life." -Theodore Roosevelt
Reply:I know this is a welding forum not a photography forum. but if your like me and you have pictures of everything you have made in a portfolio you like the pictures to show details. On the third picture you could use a fill flash to get rid of most of the shadows and you get your detail back. back on track now. the gate looks good. I also like the "shelter" to bad I cant do something like that here in wisconsin, to much wet stuff.
Reply:Nice gate, looked weird as heck in the first pic, but seeing it mounted made it all make sense..

Reply:Nice work man.  For something so large, you managed to give it grace.  I really like it.(Retired) Professional firefighter, amateur everything else I try to do...Oh yeah:  Go Big Red!   (You know: one of the 12 members of the Big 10 cuz we left the 10 members of the Big 12...)
Reply:Very nice. Besides the tent, I like the use of the 1/2 height scaffold as a workbench. I need to get/build a few 1/2 height sets to complement what I already have. Mine often serves double duty as an onsite stock rack / workbench..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear.
