Made a catch can
 

Taking a beginners welding class in high school right now. First project was to make a water proof box. After I finished that just made a bracket and put some pipes onto it. Using a filter i had lying around in my garage. Total cost = $0.

oxygen-acetylene
ok to weld, but a better tool to cut with instead. I actually liked it.

Re: Made a catch can
 

how much does it weigh?

Re: Made a catch can
 

probably about 1-2 pounds. it's made out of 4"X4" pieces that are 3/16 thick.

Re: Made a catch can
 

working on other projects right now, such as making a carts for a plasma cutter and some mig welders.

Re: Made a catch can
 

I like this calculator http://www.suppliersonline.com/resea...WeightCalc.asp According to the calculator just the plates weigh 3.14 lbs. I did not include the nipples

Re: Made a catch can
 

still better than having oil all over and leaking on the ground when parked. I don't really care about weight. It seems really light to me, probably because of weight training classes I took.

Re: Made a catch can
 

or the fact that 3.14 pound is not heavy :S

Re: Made a catch can
 

he couldve made it of 18 gauge and it wouldve held oil just fine is that I think everyone is getting at. Nice braising skills, If you get good at that you should have no problem with tig.

Re: Made a catch can
 

read both quotes before what i wrote. ::) i think you missed the point

Re: Made a catch can
 

couldn't pick material, had to use what the teacher gave me. HA.

Re: Made a catch can
 

then made you pay for it.

sounds like nazi's

Re: Made a catch can
 

$15 for the whole semester is a very small price to pay for the knowledge and practice I will get out of this class.

Re: Made a catch can
 

ohhh haha by fault. i thought u ment $15 for the box!! haha :8

Re: Made a catch can
 

but the nipples are the best part.............wait........is this the fab forum??????
