Steel Aquarium Stand

[JPG@CFI]

Reefers,

I have been working on a steel stand for an acrylic tank, and thought I'd throw up a few pic's. Everyone likes pic's, right?

I have a Miller 210 mig machine, and a 1943 vintage Acorn table. The table lets you "dog" down the steel to keep it ftom moving while you apply the heat.
I have been welding since I was 12. My uncle had a welding shop that was pretty big. Did all kinds of stuff, but was known locally for his race car frames and cages. Anyway, enjoy, J

Some stainless steel pipe my uncle welded for a guy.

Looking good, I'm jealous of your table. I'm so tired of trying to weld stuff on my garage floor.

Yeah, you can weld! ... LOL. It took a few spools of wire to get that kind of skill. Ya, been down on a few welds. ya think? And I bet ya must of started before we got our nice automatic lenses. What wire is that?
That last pic looks robotic.
