Step 5Weld The Trusses
1.
IF YOU'RE A NOOB, MAKE SURE YOU READ UP BEFORE PRACTICING AND ESPECIALLY BEFORE STARTING A PROJECT. IN MY PROJECT I USED SOME GALVANIZED STEEL WHICH GIVES OFF DANGEROUS FUMES. I MADE SURE I KEPT MY WORK AREA WELL VENTILATED WHILE WELDING - PLUS I USED A RESPIRATOR. BE RESPONSIBLE. PROTECT YOUR EYES AND LUNGS.'
2.
Weld everything together. I laid my pieces on the ground to fit everything. I use the first frame as a template to make the second one exactly the same.
3.
If you are worried about the look of the final product (which you should be) you should paint the trusses now. This is so you don't have to worry about painting them once the peg boards have been secured. Don't paint within a foot of the bottom though because we have some more welding to do.
4.
NOOB ALERT! Please don't make fun of my welds. I know they suck.
