Wood vs. Metal racks

My bad on the error, been about ten years since college, and nine since I worked for Neighbors, but going back offshore next month.

How much does a rig that can operate off of that cost?

Sorry for going off topic. If ya want we can continue in PM.

I can answer that I believe! Sheet metal, holes drilled in front and back for optimum ventilation without sacrificing humidity control. :P Couldnt tell you if he used laser to cut holes, although that sounds about right....

Thanks Connie. I need to do something with the tops on my Freedom Breeder racks to bring up the humidity a bit.

I'd suggest going with plexi, but that could end up being expensive.

looks like he used the same design as an ars rack, laser cutting

Its fine no need to go to PM i thought that i had more time in welding class and was going to make the rack there but i didnt realize that next week is my last class(1 class per week) and its my final. So i have been searching for a decient welder thats not too pricey

Ok cool. Didn't want to come off as a know-it-all, and sometimes that happens when I post from work as I am posting between working (I really hate this desk work stuff), and unfortunatly when I post from memory I get things a little off from time to time if I don't check my references first (Had a TBI).

Anywho. I picked up my little stick welder from Lowes for right around three hundred. And while I am sure that you could probably find a decent deal on an old MIG welder from a welding shop that is getting new gear, or even a school that is selling their old stuff, I doubt that you will find something cheaper.

The little welder I have, the torch, and the angle grinder are about all I can fit in my little shop along with my forge and my wood working stuff, but after I start this new job I would like to build something bigger, so I can get more stuff.

.........

sure that nice 300 dollar welder is a/c and they stick alot and cant weld half the stuff as the a/c d/c one can nor the lincoln loadhandler 140 from tsc thats right about the same price

I agree that most people don't have access to the equipment to build something like this, but to say that the materials cost as much as any pre-fabbed rack is not accurate at all.
