DRDT-2 Dimpler and Table

I purchased a DRDT-2 Front End Kit and constructed the frame. I've posted some pictures of the frame assembly and the table. The table is a slight variation from the plans that come with the Front End Kit. The stand is a cheap universal tool stand from Harbor Freight.

MDOYLE,

Great looking stand! I'd have to say I like that better than the "factory models"! Nice looking welds, too! What kind of welder are you running?

It was an inexpensive Lincoln "Tombstone" 225 Amp AC only welder. I taught welding for 20 years at the High School level, so I have a little experience.

Looks great. I love welding! I have one of the "Tombstone's" myself, and also have a little 110V wire-feed MIG which works fantastic on thinner materials. My dad has a Miller 210 which can handle anything else.

I just wish I was the guy who invented the self-darkening welding hoods! If this was the case, I would be buying QB parts, new engines, have my own airport home/hangar, etc.......
