First Project

[Jim314]

I'm what you would call a complete welding newbie. I've been practicing running beads on old lawnmower blades and finally decided it was time to actually build something. I know it ain't much compared to the projects I've seen posted here, but it's mine and my LOML likes it, so that welder has been justified. I've been lurking for awhile and have learned quite a bit from the forum already.
Hope the pic works.

JIM what size rebar? heat with a torch?

[Jim314]

Thanks guys. It's 3/8" rebar. I did it with my spanking new Lincoln AC buzzbox. 1/8" 6011 sticks.

Man, it looks real good.
Those hinges look very sturdy!

[Jim314]

Yeah their sturdy. I prefer that things don't start sagging when they get older

[Sundown]

Really cool, they do a lot of those from plate with a plasma cutter here in NM, and welcome to the board...
