Hi there, I threw this together the other day because I got tired of using it laid on the ground. I have many tools mounted to sawhorses, It keeps them moveable and solid enough to work on. It works great for shields or any slight bends. Oxy tank on a sawhorse, angle iron supports hold it solid. Like all my stuff, its not high tech, but its usefull.

Take care

Doesn't it ring? in looking at it, I'm seeing a large bell.

or an I missing something?

Hi Kindyr, Usually I use a soft faced rubber or raw hide hammer with this and theres not much ringing, Its bolted to the sawhorse which stops the vibrations that make a ring also. Even if it did ring it wouldnt matter to me because I wear ear protection most of the time in the shop anyway.

Take care

If you cut a slice about 1/4 to 1/3rd of the diameter off the bottom, then set that on another horse, you'll have one to bend over, and one to bend into.

Werks gud.

Sorry it took me a bit to get pics.

I've had more pressing things to do. I have things I'd rather be doing today too, but it's too damned cold and snowy to be out in the garage for longer than 5 minutes at a whack. Stupid weather.

Anyway. These were cut from 8, 6 and 4 inch pipe respectively. But there's no reason you can't do it with your tank leftovers too.

The only thing I can really offer wisdom/experience on, is that you don't need much for the bottom stake. The big one works fine like it is. The little ones will probably get 1/2" or more trimmed off of the sides when I get around to it. The tall walls on the troth just get in the way, and scar up the work without providing any benefit. So. Make the bottoms skinny. That's why I said slice off 1/4 of the tank. Any more than that will be a pain for you.
