don't understand what these are for?

 

They are (2 but not yet cut apart in the photo) vee blocks for holding smaller round stock on my fab table. I got those right off the bat and he is cutting me a half dozen more.

A great way to hold round things on the table , so they don't roll away while your welding them.

These work well too, especially for larger diameters.

Nice fixtures , but “No marking or center punching required “
seems pretty optimistic.

 

Eco version.

 

Many time the DIY version is as good and the bought version.:laugh:

 

Or better[emoji3]

That is cute. Kind of sexy as far as hardware can be.

 

Now that I have working prototype, finish out the other 11, not sure i will ever need that many, but whatever. Better to have and not need than need and not have. I saved the model on the waterjet so it can be scaled .

I rarely use the bolt. Mostly clamp. I saved that drop i found in the jig pile. It had the free holes and was perfectly square.

 

Nice, I only used the "stripper" / "Shoulder" bolt because I have several boxes of 5/8 shoulder bolts at my disposal. Fastenal dumpster diving. Long story short, I was dropping younger daughter off at dance, looked over and found several pallet shelves in their dumpster. That being said, I went back and kept what I found. About 20 boxes of hefty (3/8+ ) bolts but there was 3 boxes of 5/8 shoulder bolts of different lengths. So I am not using the threaded portion, just the "dowel" portion. I also made vee block clamps too but they just welded onto the cheap HF bar clamps.

 

Always have a vice on your welding bench. I find it super useful for keeping smaller work secure.

My shop/welding table is to small to worry about a vice, but I may have made a set (4) of vises that are 1) adjustable on height, 2) easy to move around.

Wow y’all have some great ideas and nice toys. Made a hoist for my small table, with my back it was a nice addition.

Scrap catch and cut box to keep from blowing dross everywhere with every simple cut. This saved a lot of mess and money.

 

Lead extension from grounded bench. Old pic before box. Cord reel too. Moved the outlet when the box was added. Changed the outlet also.
