Haynes Welding Manual 8.43 Ideal for holding small brackets onto tubing for tacking are these magnetic blocks, available at most welding supply stores. 8.45 Another type of angle fixture from HTP is this type, which clamps the two parts at a perfect 90 degree angle for tack-welding. 8.46 The Eastwood anti-heat is a putty-like paste that can be formed around heat-sensitive parts when you are welding near them. The paste absorbs heat and can be used to protect auto glass when welding near it. 8-12 8.44 HTP and other companies offer these strong magnetic holders that can secure two pieces of tubing for angles of 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 135 degrees. Tack the parts then move the magnets to the next joint. 8.47 Daytona MIG sells this handy spot-sandblaster. It is useful for cleaning paint and rust away from a spot your have to weld, like a recess where a regular sander won't reach. Three-quarters of the blasting media is returned to the gun, so it won't make your shop a "sandpit."
Building a utility trailer One of the most common home/shop projects for welding equipment is a trailer of some kind, Which can be used for carrying a race car or off-road vehicle or On a smaller scale, can function as a utility trailer. Each of these is easily within the realm of the hobbyist, though a trailer of any size should not be your first welding project. Hone your cutting, fitting and welding skills on other, less critical projects first, like a metals storage rack, a wrought-iron front gate, a fireplace grate, barbecue grille or a rolling cart for your welding equipment. Frankly, the latter is usually the first welding project after the practice sessions. Many are the accomplished weldors we have met who say they welded up their oxy-acetylene equipment cart some 20 years ago and are proud to be still using it. Since the trailer project is something to be used on public roads and at highway speeds, you want your welding quality to be good before you get started because the welds here have to be strong, not just good-looking. The basic construction details of any trailer are fairly similar, whatever the size. You assemble a rectangle of steel tubing or angle-iron, attach a sus- 9.1 A 4x8-foot utility trailer like this is a good project once you have perfected your welding and fitting techniques. Once you have a trailer like this, you'll wonder how you ever got along without one. It can be used for hauling camping gear, lumber, yard trimmings, a go-kart or furniture. 9.2 Find a good trailer supply store in your area, where you can browse for suspension parts, wiring, lights and hitch components. 9-1
