I’m looking to purchase this, have you seen it in markets?

It’s called welding magnets or squares but might have another name in Nigeria.

Thanks.

EgunMogaji2:
I finally got to use my welding brackets today. We’re suffering in this country sha for lack of proper basic tools

My appreciation post to RadAutoworks and Gazzuzz is at https://www.nairaland.com/6354056/appreciation-post

Let’s weld

Lexusgs430:
Of what use is a relevant tool, when the operator lacks the skills and technical know how..........

EgunMogaji2:
I need to grind down the welds, weld some more, grind some more, consuming Trophy’s. Rinse and repeat

My welds are God awful but I’m seeing improvements. Despite best intent I keep getting holes in light materials.

We keep moving.

EgunMogaji2:
This is true sha. But at least if you’re going to be a welder get the tools and learn.

I mean shebi we bought ratchet set and open ended spanners in our field and figured which one to use when

EgunMogaji2:
Threw some anti rust paint on this afternoon. I used it liberally in the joints so it can weep into the holes because I don’t use body filler.

EgunMogaji2:
One of the looks I’m considering

Daddy.
I have been following this thread for so long.
I love this.
I have a non for profit sch in one village like that in north.
And I am considering this as a viable option.
Presently our kids sit on bare floors
I think this will be a viable option
Just that I have two issues.
First what wood is ontop is it mbf?
I am thinking of something strong and fancy.
Secondly can the iron work be twisted and made into something I will show you here

You might not know.
I love reading your post alongside brabus.
God bless both of you and others too on the forum

EgunMogaji2:
You know your Ibadan

EgunMogaji2:
Thanks for the compliment but I’m still learning with a long way to go

On another note, I finished my first box of electrodes. Hopefully I’ll have good looking welds by the 5th box

EgunMogaji2:
Thanks for the encouragement. I see a design, I go out there and give it a shot

My table saw and wood planer being delivered soon so I can start working on wood again.

Thanks.

EgunMogaji2:
It’s probably better to show it to your local welder to duplicate.

I used:

Thick profile metal - an overkill but it’s what I like.
Berger Paint - quality but expensive paint.
Anti Rust Paint - most shops will never do this.
Plywood - the best one in the market.
