Welding doesn’t have to be all about work. In fact, there are many people who enjoy welding as a hobby. U.S. Welding & Safety Supply Co. is going to introduce you to a few welding projects for hobbyists. The first welding project we’ll be working on is bookends. Follow our step by step directions and you’ll have two beautiful bookends to decorate bookshelves in your home, or give as a homemade gift to someone who enjoys reading.

Materials Needed:
  • 4 flat pieces of heavy gauge steel

Directions:
  1. Clean the metal pieces before you begin welding.
  2. Use a ground clamp to secure two pieces of metal together at a 90-degree angle.
  3. Use tack welds to secure the pieces of metal in place.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the other two pieces of metal.

This welding project is simple, but it makes a creative homemade gift for any avid reader!
