Diy hat rack

[deacon198106]

I need the green screen help. Please don't judge my welds as this was the first time I have ever welded two pieces of metal together. The one on the left or the one on the right. I have already put together the reclaimed wood backer for these to be attached to.

Here is a close up of my welds

Looks good, I like the left one.

[deacon198106]

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I bought that welder from harbor freight 3 years ago and am just now trying it out.

[popsy]

I like the right one.

I have two f them plus a dremel. Thanks for the laugh though. That one even had my wife laughing.

Turning up the heat never hurts. It would help with the horseshoes especially.

Good job keep practicing and get comfortable when u weld

This the little welder. I don't think I can turn up the heat. It is a cheap flux core mig from harbor freight I bought on Black Friday 3 years ago.

I have the same welder and I put it on high and about #4-5 I think for wire speed. My welds didn't look that great at 1st but after a little practice, I got better. I think rusty horse shoes are tougher to do. I started using new ones and then rust em myself.

Looks good. I have some extra horse shoes laying around. I think I'll build some. As long as the weld holds its good, a hat will be covering it anyways!

I like the one on the right. Not sure what type of hats you're planning on hanging, but I'd look at only using a half a horse shoe for the protruding part so that the tips can be even and aligned.

I will be hanging cowboy hats from it.

I think your weld will hold a cowboy hat if not, sell the welder and buy a store bought with the money ya make!! LOL
