Storage Box project

admin

I started a thread in the tools and cutting section last week.  Here are some pictures of the support bar storage box I am making out of a piece of 1/8" sheet metal.... and some of my equipment. Attached Images
Reply:The first two are of the box.  The others are of my welding cart.If you look closely, you can see the haz on the box where I welded everything up.  Settings on the box were wire speed of 3, voltage setting D.  I turned the voltage down to C for the hinges.

Reply:Mess doesn't quite describe what I have in my shop right now   Between the cutting, welding, grinding, etc... I can't even see my floor.That drill press stand is a recycled sewing machine stand.  It was free and I always like free.What's it going to store?  Our travel trailer has a rear slide out.  There are two bars which colapse down when not attached to the trailer.  I am going to store those bars in the box on the rear bumper and get them out of my primary storage compartment where space is a premium.And, the welding cart and table were my first two projects with the mig....Thanks for the comments btw!Wic

Reply:Off topic- How does that abrasive blade work on the skil saw? Just wondering
Reply:I didn't have any problems using them on my saw.  Granted, the saw's guard assembly was metal and not plastic.  As many sparks as it generated, a plastic guard would have melted pretty quick.One note- I purchased a Dewalt disk and two more from Harbor Freight.  The Dewalt disk was smooth and easy to use.  The disk from Harbor Freight tended to vibrate and skip around a little.  So, buy decent disks if you are going to do it.Wic
