Wow, that is awesome! I'll buy it off you. ;-)

Very nice, do you know the square tubing size and gauge? My welder was asking for the info for my new stand.
Thanks
Dave

2" Square

.083 gauge

~ $1.90/linear foot locally

Steel stands are awesome. They give you so much room under the tank.

Good luck.

Thanks!

Keith, did you weld it yourself? Those are great looking welds... I hope to build a stand that nice one day.

Awesome job.

Thanks all,

reefer20G, yes I bought a millermatic 185 a few years ago and I couldn't be happier with this machine. I never had any problems with it.

Thanks
Keith

I picked up the stand last night, powder coating complete. I got it done in white, it looks pretty cool.

Just wanted to recommend:

1) Steel stands in general
2) Keith - great work, as seen in this thread.
3) Arizona Powder Coat - extremely nice and courteous. Less than $100. I paid $125 because I asked them to rush it through, but if I could have waited 5 days, it would have been $95.

SOMEthinsFISHY · #12 10/22/2004, 04:25 AM

wow a powder coated stand !

NeilPearson · #13 11/23/2004, 08:24 PM

How much would you charge for a stand like this?

72 x 24 or maybe 72 x 30

SOMEthinsFISHY · #14 11/23/2004, 10:32 PM

that stand is sweet !

Ehydo · #15 11/23/2004, 10:42 PM

Great job on the welds.

invincible569 · #16 10/26/2006, 12:38 PM

VERY NICE!

How much for a 72x40.

I am a member of the powder coated steel stand club as well and I will never go back to a wood stand again. That is a fine looking stand before powdercoating David you need to put up a few pics of it now that it is done. How are you going to skin it?

aztbs · #18 10/26/2006, 01:05 PM

Talk about an old thread! Wow!

I think that lhoo owns this stand now, powdercoated white with a monstrous tank on it. Invincible569, are you local? There are a couple of talented welders around here that would help build something for you.

lhoo · #19 10/26/2006, 01:21 PM

That is now my stand. I haven't put a skin on it yet.

jpslickorocks · #20 10/26/2006, 01:40 PM

I would love to see it when it is done. I will be skinning mine in a few weeks.

I just looked back and wow that is an old thread.

corivus · #21 10/26/2006, 07:02 PM

someone was going back from the begining me thinks

I hope to get mine made soon

Aegis · #22 10/26/2006, 07:11 PM

Is Keith still lurking around here?
Is his offer still available?

woodwrangler · #23 10/26/2006, 07:28 PM

I believe Keith is still lurking around, but, sg1.025 was quoted as saying Keith was "out for a bit" with a broken leg/ankle?.

I know army67romeo has also built a few steel stands, you may want to try contacting him if you need something before keith jackson gets back "in for a bit"

sidewinder770 · #24 10/26/2006, 07:42 PM

My stand was also built by Keith- great guy and great work.

before powder coating-

after powdercoating-

Hey great looking stand, and clean welds. I have to agree with you, miller does have great machines. I too have had my welder and plasma cutter for over a yr without any issues. They also have a great technical support team.
