In this video I came up with a simple and fun project for the beginning welder like me, to practice welding. We’ll be using Mig welding to make a basic Metal Box with a locking latch.We’ll be practicing tack welds , horizontal and vertical welds a long with your basic push and pull welds.
Once we cut all the parts out on the horizontal bandsaw. We’ll use some 90 degree magnets to help line the parts up to tack weld the box together. After we get the Box all tacked up , we’ll lay down the finish welds. Using an angle grinder to smooth out all the welds to make it look like it’s one solid piece. Now that the body is finished we’ll concentrate on the hinged top, We’ll cut the top to fit nice and use a bolt and 4 nut to make the hinge. We’ll weld the two outside nuts to the back and the two inside nuts to the top. Allowing the top to open and close on the bolt nicely. Then we’ll make a locking latch with a bolt and two nuts and make a slotted piece of metal with a bent nail.
Remember I’m a beginner at welding too, so this not a how to weld video but more a fun project to help you practice welding while building something fun. Because the more you weld the better you’ll get at welding….

Hello! I would like to ask what cutoff machine did you used in this video? And where did you bought it? Thank you for the informative video!~
Good stuff
Are there measurements anywhere?
you can tell you made a good video when there r no dislikes, great video mate imma go make the box now.
What type of welder did you use?
For something like this, I'd recommend a downhill weld, it's purely cosmetic, but looks nice on outside corner joints.
Nice video though.
