DIY Welding Project: How to Weld an Ornamental Iron Folding Easel for Pa...

I made this video "DIY Welding Project: How to Weld an Ornamental Iron Folding Easel for Painting or Picture Display" for fun for my daughter's painting display. You can really make some cool decorative easels using different pieces of decorative metal. These are fun to make. I've made and sold many of them in the past. This one was just a basic model and wanted to keep it simple. Easy welding project and they last forever. Easy to fold up and store when not in use as well.

Scrap Metal Welding Art Project: Wild West Cowboy

Check out my Scrap Metal Welding Art Project: Wild West Cowboy. The boots were made from old shoe savers and the legs of course from a large horseshoe. The body came from some old wrought iron fence pickets from a fence I helped a neighbor up the street tear down in exchange for the metal and a sweet gate (which I refurbished and sold). The spurs were made from car gears. The cowboy hat I made from an old shoe saver as well. The guns were little mini railroad spikes someone gave me. The rope and lasso I made from old chainsaw chain by welding each link together.

DIY Shotgun Shell Coat Rack Made From Repurposed Antique Boat House Wood...

In this Do it yourself 12 gauge shotgun shell mounted coat rack made from old torn down boat house wood and spent shotgun shell I show you step by step on how to make this cool arts and crafts project. This is a great addition to your home, cabin, or shop. You don't necessarily have to use old wood even though it does add to the cool factor. Just get a piece of cedar or any piece of wood and template out your holes to drill with the spent shotgun rounds. When I did this I measure to find the centerline of the pieces I used so all of the holes lined up right. If you want to offset them as I did in a couple of the racks, just measure out two horizontal lines evenly spaced. Once I figured out where I wanted to drill the holes I did just that. I used an auger bit because that was the size that I had in my toolbox that matched just a gnats ass over the shotgun shell diameter so it would fit in there nice and snug. For visual effect I used a heat gun and gave it a burnt look. I inserted the shells into the holes and used a brad nailer to secure them to the piece of wood. You could also use some epoxy. Now it's ready to mount to the wall.

How to Weld a. Horseshoe Wine Rack from Old Horseshoes

The first thing I did was get them all cleaned up removing the tacks and rust from each one of them. Then I lined them up in the triangular shape that I wanted them in. I kept the it flat on the bench while I tack welded each one using my Lincoln Pro MIG 140 welding machine using inner shield wire.
