Arnoldc Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I am needing to make a 5' dia wreath, I have planned to make it out of steel rod, and in 4 segments. The problem is, well I don't know how to weld/have the tools to weld/or know anyone who knows how to weld. I have completed drawings of what I'm wanting. If there is anyone out there that can help me, please speak up!!Arnold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I didn't know how to weld, but I had a cheap Chinese motion wireframe doe that broke the first year because the loop that connects to the motor was only welded on one side, and that defect was painted over.The wireframe was cheap, but I figured this was a good thing to learn and practice on, so I spent about $50 for a MAPP welding kit at Home Depot. Being a novice, the repair doesn't look pretty, but after painting, no one will notice. It has lasted 2 seasons since my repair.You don't know how to weld now, but you can learn, and if you have patience, you can teach yourself.
