Default Fabrication and Welding

I don't know if this has already been done, but I'd like to see a thread with pictures of stuff you've fabbed up, or modified, or welded up. I know there is alot of talent on this forum, so show it off!!!

Post up some pics, and some details about it.

I'll post up some pictures of a few things and some of my welds soon as I can remember my photobucket password

Okay, got into my photobucket.

I have a $hit load of pics of stuff I've welded and fabricated since I own a fab shop. Have built a ton of roll cages, but here are a few.

Here are some pics of welds first:

I'll try and get some tom at work. It will be completely opposite of anything posted. I'm a Steamfitter so my pics will look like a cluster of pipe all around. I have some pics of some 1/2 stainless i welded the other day.


There was a welding thread too.

Looks good everyone. I'm going through school next year for welding. Is there any tips or tricks that you have? I'd be making a career out of it if possible.

Practice as much as you can. Fabrication is fun stuff to do since its not really monotonous. Welding the same parts over and over again gets boring.
