My project today was making a little trailer to tow behind my lawn

The metal is mostly from scavenged bed frames and stuff I had laying
around. I still need to score a hitch and some plywood for the deck.

What welder(s) do you have/use?


I did that with my 45 year old buzz box. I have a MIG but I have a
problem with the wire feed and I did not feel like screwing with it
today. After looking at some of those welds, I really need to fix the
MIG ;-)
It is my normal pattern with that thing. I start out screwing them up
bad and by the time I get in the groove and making good beads, I am
done. I should have welded the bottom first. I was really designing as
I was going. I didn't even know how big it was going to be until I
started cutting up the frames and figuring out what was useful.
The caster mounts look like they will make great pins to go into
sockets in the frame for removable side boards. They are a perfect fit
in swaged steel 1/2" EMT connectors. I doubt I am going to try to weld
them on with a buzz box tho unless I get different rods.
