The pics

I made the welds. I chose 6010 to get penetration on the sides with the curve. I left the top and bottom with 6010 only. The sides filled in with 7018 mainly for looks, but it will add strength. I have three time holders and they are offset on purpose. This gives me a 39,23 and 16 inch spacing on my...

I do abuse my pallet forks. I don't lift pallets. I have used them to lift the front end of the tractor up off the ground to get unstuck out of a mud hole. I take very heavy stumps with dirt on them and shake them up and down to knock the dirt off so they are lighter and easier to burn. I ram them i...

My desire for two passes was to prevent what happened with my original pallet fork shown in the pic. It was a factory weld and the plate was 1/4 inch. Maybe I am overly concerned with this one. Do you think the top and bottom welds still need two passes?

Greetings. I am working on a pallet for for my tractor front end loader. I purchased a 1/2 inch thick mild steel skid steer plate. I need to attach tines to it. I bought some 3x5 inch rectangular tubing with 3/8 inch thick walls and cut it to 5 inches. I want to weld these pieces of tubing to the sk...

I live east of Dallas Texas. It gets routinely in the 100s in the summer and rarely drops below freezing in winter. I have fans for summer. I do not need much insulation. I was considering the force applied to the base angle. It is mainly downward to the concrete by weight and gravity. Nothing shoul...

Thank you for reminding me to include pics. You can see the panels I want to install. The outside wall is on the other side of my insulation in white. The insulation is sandwiched between two pieces of plastic. I do not know what weather stripping was used for the outside wall. I just know it does n...

I have a metal shop. 30x40 with 12 foot walls. The outside walls are metal panels attached to purlins and to a base angle at the bottom. That base angle is 2x4, 14 gauge. I want metal panels on the inside that I would attach to the same purlins, but on the inside. At the bottom I want to place anoth...
