Had some fun with this big boy welding some aluminum. But kept tripping the 50A breaker it was tied into. 😂 •

Oops. Pretty sure that’s not supposed to happen.
Um. That’s a FACTORY weld on a Jeep JL.
Paid $20 for this rusted up bench grinder.
Paid $20 for this rusted up bench grinder. @evapo_rust to the rescue! I wasn’t looking for a complete restoration, just enough that wouldn’t require a tetanus shot to work with. 😂

After getting some inspiration
After getting some inspiration from @jimbosgarage build, I finished this oxy acetylene cart. Fun project and have me some much needed practice behind the helmet.

Picked up this oxy setup off craigslist.
Picked up this oxy setup off craigslist. But the cart is pretty much gone. The wheels are rusted and they don’t move. Had an old 2 wheel hand truck I am converting into a tank cart. Decided to use some flux core wire partly because I knew I was going to burning through some crud and partly because it’s what was in the welder. 😜
I need the practice. And a welding table. Almost caught this one on fire. 😂
