New TIG Project

admin

I was looking for something to do with my TIG welder to brush up on my skills and my brother called me and asked to build some custom brackets to help support some deck supports that were no longer holding so well.Below are the photos on 6 simple brackets I made for him.  It was nice to do something production wise rather than just practice.Nothing special.  All 1/8" MS running 125A, 3/32" Tung. 1/15" ER70-S2 Filler.

Reply:nice work what did u use to do the bending
Reply:Looks good!looks like there isn't any bends.....flat bar welded to angle, Right?
Reply:No bending.  Just took some 1-1/2" angle and welded it to some flat.  Quick and simple.Build a Barstool Racer at BarFlyRacers.com!
Reply:Nice job, good looking welds.  Not many of us have access to a heavy bender to make that shape.  I'm sure you saved a good deal of cash for brother by welding up the brackets versus paying a shop to bend them for you.
Reply:Umm, why not MIG them? save heaps of time, gas and money.
