I'm still learning, but I made a wench mount for my trailer.

[All In A Days Work]

I'm still learning how to TIG weld, so I decided to weld something productive. Some look okay but others not so good. It sure would have been faster with the MIG.









I had a hard time on the right side of the angle.











I had a hard time welding the wench plate to the 2" square tube.


Now it needs paint!

Curious - Why did you put a winch on your wench mount? :laughing:

Talk Like A Pirate Day was on the 19th of September.

Still, with my Navy background, I've always got time for a wench! :thumbsup: (Oh, the stories I could tell... and then be banned from TBN)

You got some really bad under cut in places. I would run another pass over the under cut to fill it in!

I could post a few pics of my tig welding, that would make you feel better about your welds. :wink:

The nice thing about Tig is that if you don't like what you get, You can go over it again and again with or without filler rod.

I wish Branson and St. Helens were a bit closer together so we could hoist a couple of cold ones and talk about Wenching.. I bet you do have some stories. :laughing:

Every time I read that someone put a wench on their Cummings it just kills me... but then I have a beer and I feel better.

To the OP: Nice project!

And here I thought we were going to see pictures of a mount for a rocking chair like Granny had on the Beverly Hillbillies

Nice project. I take it the "winch" is removable so you can put the chair in that mount

She may not be purty, but she's mighty handy ! Right up there with the latter rack and the wheelborrow.
