Welder access for mini project near Broomfield North Denver area

I will have an upcoming Fab project I am working on.

Nothing major, can carry the pieces in my hand, just need access to a good welder / lighted area to put it all together, project total may take half an hour of actual welding.

I am a little out of practice since selling my set up 4 years ago so you can weld it for me if someone doesn't want me touching their welder.

I would pay for the consumables. Not doing it right now, waiting for all my pieces to come in and then I got some preliminary set up to do.

Let me know [Beer]

What material you need welded ?

You're more than welcome to borrow my Lincoln 110. You come pick it up and bring it back and I'd be ok with that. Flux core wire feed setup right now.

If you want to bring me the pieces I can take them with one day and weld them up. Or you could run them up to Loveland and do it yourself. I have mig or tig flavors.

I have MIG and TIG available here.
PM sent.

I have MIG & TIG (steel & SS only) as well.
You could even use your old helmet. :D

I am building a recovery point / winch receiver mount for the front my Jeep, will look like the pictures below. That specific design is made by a company that put a lot of thought into it, really nice and great feedback. That specific set up they sell for $400, ouch!

The benefit of decades of building Jeeps I know where to get all the materials to build my own, and can do it for half that price! The company actual sells the "mounting brackets" separately so I have those on the way, just cause they have more fab work involved and are reasonably priced. The main piece I am waiting for right now.

Thanks Scott, but (insert phallic jokes after sentence) I need "deeper" penetration for strength. [LOL]

Thats right just up the street from me, Cat food lover is closer for me to actual to do the work. I wouldn't want you to weld it for me. I will keep you on my list.

You are closer than all others to me but your hours are goofy now. :)

When I get closer to my completion date I will weight all options to make sure I am not inconveniencing anyone to do this little project.


Thanks everyone for the offers! The guys on this forum all rock! [Beer]

You might be surprised how much penetration you could get from HCWT's equipment.

Maybe, I use to have a 110 but hated the thing as I could never get it to work right. I guess it is in what settings and how you handle the "stick" [Coffee]

There's only 2 times in life when penetration is important..........and welding is one of those times

BEAD, you forgot how good a bead you leave.

Due to the overwhelming amount of innuendos in this thread I am going to pull out my offer.

Nice going guys, y'all dicked that up good......

Could you image if he needed a stick welder.....

I was going to recommend if he really wanted penetration then he should use a stick.

Just don't pull out too soon or you'll leave a mess.

Bitches don't know 'bout my stick.

^^^ cute shoes

They're for running off-road since I don't own a Tacoma.

Shit. I have duramax, should I have a pair too?

Only if you want to hit up the really narrow trails. You could buy a fat bike as well.

Grrr slowly crawling along with this project...................... I have no patience, but money dictates.

I had already gotten my frame brackets, Recovery shackle brackets, and Receiver mount.

Still need to get my weldable nuts and the actually 3x3 1/4 wall square tube.

Before I can continue forward as I need the measurements for the square tube and to make sure the recovery shackle plates will work the way I want it to, I need to get my frame brackets installed. That is a very simple job, but requires me to enlarge the factory frame holes from 7/16 to 9/16, which in itself is also not a hard job at all, IF I HAD THE RIGHT TOOL!

The area where the holes are to enlarge is right above the front Radiator frame support so my cordless drill is TOO BIG to get in there to drill them out. I need to borrow an angle drill or a universal angle drill attachment.

Anyone near Broomfield have an angle drill?

I have a right angle air drill if you have a compressor. It's only a 3/8" chuck though, so getting a 9/16 drill with a 3/8 shank might be a challenge, unless it's a step.

Or if you have a compressor I have a right angle die grinder and burrs to make any hole or shape you want!

Let me know if any of these help. I'm heading out of town early Thursday morning.

I have a couple step bits, but I dont have an air compressor anymore since selling my house. :(

Thanks Man for the offer![Beer]

Meatman has a angle drill so I have been saved from that challenge. [Flower]

Sounds good bud.

With the help of Jay aka "meatman" (lives super close) I manage to get to Stage 2 of my front hitch / winch multi mount. Which is initial assembly/welding of the main pieces for measurements for the 2" receiver, mounting tests and cutting my front bumper to clear everything.

The plastic bumper all cut out to accept the front hitch;

Now got to mark where to cut out the main section for the 2" receiver, but need to find a way to cut it out nice and clean. Once that is done, then weld it in, clean it up and paint before mounting.


Anyone near Broomfield with a Plasma cutter that will cut 1/4 wall I can use for 5-10 minutes to cut out were the receiver will go? [Beer]
