First weld looks decent. Make sure you paint your welds so there is no opportunity for rusting.

Thanks. If they all are like that I'll be happy. I'm going to paint the entire thing!

We got allot of welders here myself included. You wont have any issues getting help or pointers if you need them. Just practice with some scrap first.

got it all tacked together. Had a couple small warping issues but overall going very well! Everything is strait now. I'll finish welding after lunch and do some grinding.

Thanks Brian! I am glad I don't weld for a living! I hurt man. I'm eating lunch and drinking coffee! I'll snap a pic for 2 of the while thing when I get back. I still need to cut the diagonal pieces for the sheer strength. I think I'll wait till tomorrow! Lol

I don't think that you will need them, but some simple 6" or 8" gussets would be better than plywood, IMO. I typically make them out of some plate in the scrap bins, or use whatever i have lying around.

I often use 1x1" in a few of the corners. I have some extra you can have if you need it.

 

[09bumblebee]

You can see what I did in the corners and in the back that's all you need. Steel is strong dont over think it
