Sometimes the only way to fabricate a custom metal handrail is on the job site. This handmade handrail was welded partially in the shop and finished off at the custom home.
There are several things to remember when considering on site welding. It is best to be well prepared before leaving your shop. A few things to bring along might include a couple of grinders, one with a cut off wheel, chop saw, welding helmet, welding gloves, tape measure, square, and leathers if you doing some overhead welding.
Tom built a small dolly for his wire feed welder to take along when doing on site welding jobs. The dolly holds his bottle and welder. It is a little cumbersome to get out of the truck due to weight, but once Tom gets it out it can be wheeled around to wherever he needs to take it.
Tom used a regular dolly that can be purchased at any do it yourself store. He welded on a metal loop for the cylinder tank and also welded on hooks for the welder so he can easily bungee it on.
Don’t forget a few silver sharpies for marking up your steel as well.
It is also convenient to have a simple five gallon bucket for tools as well.
