Bought it used a few years ago for $100. You can use your imagination as to how handy it is....

That is wonderful! I've been dreaming of inventing that 50 years. All projects are more pleasant if I can stand up. At age 18 I built my first grease pit so I could stand up. Much of my body work I did standing on a ladder with the car crossways over the pit.
I never have justified a hoist, but near everything I've ever done I'm figuring how to stand up, or at least sit. I never did enjoy kneeling, crawling, or standing on my head.
An optimist is usually wrong, and when the unexpected happens is unprepared. A pessimist is usually right, when wrong, is delighted, and well prepared.
I finished the picnic table I started a few posts back,,
composite boards bolted on with stainless steel hardware,,
I ended up building a couple more brackets to support a longer set of table boards.
My daughter asked about building a "sideboard table" so that the food being served did not take up the picnic table area.
I figured extensions would be easier than a separate table

It's wheelchair accessible also, great job!

put this one together today and this one is done i think the co owner boss was saying at the end of the day when I asked him if I earned any scrap metal that he wants to see me put a whole box together myself. I told him with some time I could. Haven’t been welding on the out side since the one box he let me weld all out to boost my confidence I think, that was the first couple weeks I started. I’m the only guy in the shop to do that since I’ve been here. I’ve welding a few things on the outside lately but not the main seems in the corners.
Making this into a removable wave wall; for when this boat goes salmon tendering in the summer months...
Tried like heck to run some DualShield, Select Arc 720; and it wasn’t happening. Old crusty steel (the vertical), with substantial wind gusts... reverted back to .045 E-71-T-GS, works well for this application.
The PAPR is a a game changer.

Do you really know all of the work that goes into getting that fish onto your plate?
Everything roughed out on my metal break. Used some 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 × 3/8 angle. A couple bends on some 18 or 20 ga stainless. I am happy so far. Need to cut down the hinge bolts, clean up and paint. Just a hobby welder so plenty of grinding lol.
Repair work. Welded inbetween the welds on the frame too. He kinda had me hack it. Didn’t drill the ends out on the cracks and he said were just filling it over, he wanted me to grind it 2/3 out and I welded the top and it was still cracked on the bottom, which I did grind out down there and filled it but no drilling. It will come back in I think. The cross braces are about 3’ from the front and 3’ from the back no middle brace. He said the vibrator caused this. I was more thinking loading the gravel every time right in the middle every time with no cross brace the middle and made it flex to much and the prior welds were poor and very small. That didn’t helppainted it only with primer too that was gray and no matching black over that. He asks us to be perfect but is a hack some of the time.

me and the boss got her looking like a box today. This is a pretty short box. And luckily it’s skipped welded under the top of the sides

arms were getting pretty tired lol. Did some welding underneath first that went pretty good
the boss made the downhill pass on the cab guard above 2.5” or so tube and the dog house was welded down the middle with 1 pass with out stopping
put this one together today and this one is done i think
