Here's a receiver mount tire carrier I'm working on at the moment. It will hold the tire and a 5gal jerry can.

I am new to heavy gauge GMAW, been doing body work and sheet metal most of my life. Got a 75/25 cylinder for my personal Hobart rig today. Here is a test piece I was fooling around with today. Any pros have tips let me know. So far I can tell I need more overlap on my stop/starts.

Dude are you a loading dock/door tech?

I do that everywhere I go, just have a habit of looking at them everywhere... kinda makes you think.. you are around a lot of important things everyday that could have sub par welds.. something that people that don't weld don't think about

The ones posted here are absolutely perfect compared to almost all the docks I have ever seen. For reference I work in a facility with roughly 240 docks
