I wanted to make some welding clamps for my welding table so I copied this design by Lazze

I need to make a ball turner for my lathe instead of machining spheres on the mill.

Next I machined the side plates, one half is threaded and the other half is counter bored fore the 5/16-18 bolt.

Next was to drill the 1/2 rod so I can insert and weld the 2 spherical ends on. I should have threaded the rod and ends incase I want to add longer or shorter rods in the future . This is my first time TIG welding so if you have any constructive criticism about the weld let me know.

I still need to finish machining a few more parts and will update when finished.

Nice work you do body work.

I would like to make some scale car and motorcycle models in the future but haven't tried any sheet metal work yet. There are some really good instructional metal forming videos online, they make it look so easy but I know it's not!

Your first tig welds?...... should be proud!

My first ones were horrible, and if I don't do it for a few weeks I lose everything I learned from last time.

I did try welding some scrap aluminum the first day I bought the welder and it looked terrible! I spent a few hours watching online video's before I tried welding the rods and the results were much better. I posted the picture of the best looking weld I made, I wasn't very proud of some of the others :chunky:
