Rock Crawler
The rare opportunity to spend some time in the garage without interruptions came along so i seized the moment by trying my hand at bending up some 3/16" round stock into some sort of a bumper for my tiny truck. Here goes:
Used some of this:
Cut it with this:
Bent it with this:
Chamfered the holes with this:
Welded it with this:
Looks like this:
Couldn't leave well enough alone so I made a really simple rear bumper as well. The center attachment point is cool, I would like to put to hanging D rings on the left and right side to finish it up.
Will post when done
I don't have any brazing Rods but I had plenty of .030 Flux Core for my wire feeder:mrgreen: Some shielding gas sure would have been awesome to cut down on all the slag and weld spatter! Anyhow wanted to post this up. I am about to hit it with some paint then mount it up. Looks like ill be watching the ball drop soon as I'm done. Happy New year to all the Crawlers!
