sheet metal storage rack

Very nice work!!! I've done a couple of jobs very similar to that one...I remember them well...my back just hurts looking at those pics!!!

I don't think youre that far off. I would slow down your travel speed and bump your wire speed down a bit...then post a few pics. Really it's hard to say...I'm one of those that welds more by sound and feel than what the dials are set to...

I'm in, we could always use another quality MIG in the school shop!

Anyone have any good ideas for a sheet metal storage rack. I've seen alot of them, but never one that knocked my socks off...

Running a high school metals/manufacturing program it seems like I've priced out everything in the last few years.

I've found 32-33" to be a pretty common height for tables. We just built a couple 4'x8' tables for our school shop out of 1/4" top plate, 4" channel (1/4" wall) for the frame/crossbraces and 4" x 4" (10 gauge) for the legs, plus 1/4" plate for gussets on the legs....

Archery and welding...hey now you are talking about two of my favorite things!

I've spent about 8 years in the custom ag-machinery fabrication business after completing a 2yr weld associates degree and now am enjoying teaching. I'm in the middle of pretty much revamping a HS weld and...

I'm in for a tape...thanks Miller.
