    First Welding project ideas

    I'm going to jump in with my welder. Its a hobart 140. I have never welded anything in my life, but I asked for this welder last Christmas and have not turned it on once. What are some good first projects?

    I'd build a cart for the welder or maybe a game hoist.

      I have a cart and no need for a game hoist, yet. Thanks for the ideas though.

        Personally, my 4' x 4' welding table was long over-due when I built it a couple years ago. That simple project has made the following projects so much more comfortable to work on.

          Make some Christmas gifts for folks. Most my mom 's furniture and decor is stuff I've welded up. (Tables, Mirrors, Coat Hangers)

            You can really practice on making anything. Small tables, work tables, some sort of stand/rack, but everyone's gotta start out somewhere. Just find something you take interest in and give it a try

              Game can stands
              If you mess up, the deer don't care!

              Just get some scrap and practice beads, practice in multiple positions too

                Get some scrap metal and work on your technique is what I would do before I start a project. Things will go smoother if you do this first.

                  Tagging this for ideas. I had a little Lincoln flux core 110 mig welder that I am about to start messing with to try and learn to weld.

                        Table wouldn't be a bad project. Don't build anything without a square and/or level! Best advice anyone could give.

                            LOL, I wouldn't dare until I know my welds will hold.
