Haven't Been By In A While

[camjeep3]

Been busy with school and other stuff, no time working on or driving the jeep :( she is tucked away for later though. I have been going for my welding degree and have been doing a few little projects in my free time

horse shoe wine rack and coat rack

I was looking for a tank because I wanted to build another mobile grill I saw this one beside a fenced in area beside a building, stopped one day offered 100 for the tank and trailer.

trailer is too small for the cooker but It will be a perfect for a mobile welding rig:icon_mrgreen:

While looking at that I saw a rack of some heavy wall tube and other assorted sticks. 150 for all of that

yes its rusty but it will be perfect for our personal projects

and last but not least a tow rig! 1970 f350 dually! newer rebuild on the 360. payed 550 for it, running and driving!

now everyone convince to pull the jeep out and mess with it!

Horseshoes are cake to weld aint they. :D I made a set of drings for my front bumper, with em.

Thanks guys. I def. made out well on the truck and steel. I think i did good on my tank as well. I will post pics when The grill is done.

yeah they are easy to whip together and horse people will pay good money for that stuff, easy stuff to do between classes and makes some$

I welded a pair of horse shoes once. As I was laying-lying?- in the hospital it occurred to me that maybe I should have removed them from the horse first.

Also, props on scoring the old Ford! The old ones have a lot of character, IMO. :thumbsup:

I did one of those awhile back, looks like we took very similar approaches:

I like the way you did the bottom two compared to mine. If i make another I might do it that way. lots of stuff you can make with horse shoes!

Yours is going to be wider at the bottom narrowing to the top a bit. I did it this way since the space seemed about right for the height of various bottles I tested. The ridges also naturally lent themselves to the aligned the front and back sections.

 

I also faced my horseshoes in one direction, so one side you see both fronts or both backs, I was assuming most places you would put it would be against a wall cabinet etc, where you would never see the backside.

 

Despite my best efforts, the thing rocked just a tiny bit when sitting on a flat table(used the garage floor as my flat surface for welding), so I used the cork board and some plumbers goop to provide a nice footrest. Level, and sturdy, but soft enough that it won't scratch up a table surface.

 

I made it mostly because I wanted to try it, then I gave it to a friend for Hannukah.
