who can weld???

joc_06

didnt know where to put this so i said here was as good as any.

I need a piece welded but havent the equipment or matierla to do it myself and was wondering if someone here could help or point me in the right direction.

all it'd be is 1 length of pipe bent into a [ shape and then a flat piece is welded between the 2 protruding arms. simple enough im sure.

any help??
thanks

pull up bar ?

joc_06

no its a sled actually

Think the danger there would be the metal going on fire? Given that it is so thin.

joc_06

what?
why is the metal thin?
how can metal go on fire with a simple stick welder? in fact how can metal go on fire anyway outside of a furnace?

I had assumed it was a chin up bar or something too.

Would the flat piece of metal not need to be slightly curved if you were to use it as a sled?

joc_06

yes its a sled. i could draw it out.
anyone know any welders who'd do it for a reasonable price. matierals wouldnt cost more than a tenner and it'd not even take 30 mins.
Id do it myslef only i havent access to a welder.
even my limited skill would be able for this task and ive only welded like 4 or 5 times

It seems straight forward but metal workers are hard to find, maybe go to a garage and ask it as a favour or slip them 20€

you can use an ark welder or a mig welder, what type of metal is it?
id say get someone who knows welding to do it for you because you can have something that looks like a weld but when you say but force or get a hammer to it it would break.
And if you do decide to venture and do it for yourself (if you've borrowed equipment make sure you get a mask, because the extreamly bright light will burn the retena of your eyes.

here's a pic of something similiar

Ive done a bit of welding before in college. Im not there anymore, so I cant offer up my services. But yeah it does sound like an easy enough job. Welding can be tricky though, but obviously for someone who has done it before it shouldnt be a problem.

Cianos

I woudlnt recommend doing it yourself tbh. It wouldnt be worth the hastle. I guess you could find somewhere that does welding, and just give them a tenner or something and they'll probly do it for you.

What dyou need it done for? Maybe theres an alternative solution...

loz

would it not be less hassle to buy one ?

joc_06

costs about £200 for something thats not worth a tenner...

Sparky

yeah get someone to do it for you, possably someone in a motor garage who repair cars.
You would need strong weld joints for that item.
