I have been working on building a CNC plasma table, for the last several years.

Couple of pictures to show the style and scale of that build, Because I sure there is someone who is interested.

well today I finally put this long term project to work making something useful I was in need of. A holder for a 5LB propane tank that will get attached to the roof rack I built a few years back.

The parts cut from 12g mild steel. I used a bauer surface conditioning tool to clean up the old paint from the metal

Parts where bent on my small press brake. It was a quick project so I kinda just eyeballed the bend placement and took a bit of tweaking to get it all to fit

All welded up, and a coat of primer.

I need to buy the clamps to secure the tank to the mount. the original design looked like they used a couple of stainless hose clamps.
