Thought I'd make something useful out of these scrap angle bars and metal plates lying around the garage, so here are some very very simple DIY gadget or welding support for some round pipes and perhaps square or rectangular tubings. these welding support can be placed on top of the welding table.

This new thread is also in relation with OSSIE's thread of "Quick metal working projects ".
Ossie, dedicated sa iyo toits. 😀

These are the scrap metals cut to required size and derusted.

Clamped and ready to be welded.

Re: DIY Round pipe ans Square tubing Welding support

For the project I'll be using a 6013 special nihonweld thin rod for tacking and stringer application and a 6013 thicker rod by wipweld for the hot or cap pass.

Tacked weld the two angle bars with stringer application on the base plate.

A close up of the weld applications.

Another stringer over the tack welds above and below the completed cap pass.

Re: DIY Round pipe ans Square tubing Welding support

On this pic I made first a smaller version but decided to make another one much bigger than the first so that the support can carry a longer pipe.

This is how this two welding support will be utilized,it has made welding pipes more easier to weld and manipulate.

The completed and painted welding support will be posted later, thanks for viewing. :thanks:

Re: DIY Round pipe ans Square tubing Welding support

@rosy,

how do you "de-rust" the metals?

any chemicals worth using? i am not a fan of derusting metals using the grinder.

thanks

Re: DIY Round pipe ans Square tubing Welding support

HI there violaine,

The only de-rusting process I did in this little project was to use a grinder and wire brushing, specially just to remove the flaking rust on the metal plates. Though the metals were not yet totally de-rusted, I did not soaked them anymore overnight into a pan of vinegar kasi nga diba quicky quicky metal project nga e plus before painting I'll brush it first with Turco metal converter. I know de-rusting metal is really irritating and after doing so you would smell already like kalawang, and with so many rust dust in the air, not so good for the lungs.

Anyway the use of vinegar was suggested by jarod to Jayl on de-rusting his shop tools and I think it did quite became very effective and successful.
