Target Stand Epic Fail

[jtischauser]

I had some of my Romanian employees welding up some steel target stands for me. I had a few old AR500 plates handy as well so I had them weld two to a piece of flat bar so I could use them as knock down targets. Then I checked on their progress today and this is what I found. :shout:

At least they wont spin!!!

Won't fall either! Lol.

Now you are in the market for a bazooka or RPG.

Nice bead weld bro!

Just dont plant them down in the ground to far and a .50bmg might knock em over.

these are shoot off targets (Jesse sets them up on the challenger's side)

Thanks for the belly laugh! Needed that today...

It got better. They had two finished like this and two done right. I thought they weren't going to be around until this weekend so I figured I had time to get them moved Friday. Walked in today and I had a nice set of four unknock down targets. 30 minutes with the chop saw and grinder and they're good to go.

Nothing beats a blue wrench when it comes to steel.

I wanted to reweld the rebar back to a new plate which is why I cut them square and flat with a chop saw. I'd love to have you teach me how to remove that weld and leave a flat surface with a torch.

OMG.... thx for the laugh. Good luck with them.
Bring some to the SWAT comp. we will see if we can fit them in lol.

Looks like they didn't have their gas turned on(if it was mig) or just held the stick at a bad angle and didn't get any flux on it.

My guess would be the welder came into OK on a covered wagon in the land run and these boys weld with the methodology of quantity over quality.
