MIG gun mini rack

I needed something small for my weld table. I've seen very well built larger ones but I needed something smaller and simple just to hold the MIG gun, pliers I use and what ever. Since I don't have a plasma (yet) I machined this out on my Tormach PCNC1100.

:wabbit2: Looks nice but I know the first time I caught this with what ever part of my body it aligns with it would be gone.

If it works for you great!!

Interesting, I guess it takes all kinds. If I cut off everthing that I could nick a thigh or shin on in my shop or on my wheeler, well I it would be easier to just stay in bed. Just saying.

I just tack on pieces of 1.75" scrap tubing on my table corners. Holds a welder or the handle of a grinder perfectly.

I do like the cut outs for frequently used tools though.

Wabbit, you make the point of we use what we have available for simple yet effective tool storage. Many ways to do this, I'm just used to eyeing it from what can I build with my CNC Mill.

well after nicking a thigh and spending several hours in the ER and several thousand dollars in out of pocket expenses .

Having just missed the femoral artery . The Doctor said since I was alone they could have found me in a few days.

I just tend to be careful now that I am a Senior citizen .

I understand that, that bracket is made from 1/8" plate and radiused and belt sanded the edges to prevent the potential of tearing my jeans.
