Welding Area

outside

inside (as of Oct 2023)

We have set up a ventilated welding area in the "hot" section of our metal workshop.

Curtains

The curtains are meant to protect the other Makers while someone is welding inside of the enclosure. Two (black) are made of non-flammable cotton fabric (Bühnenmolton B1, 300 g/m²) and can be placed close to the welding process if needed. The third one (red) is transparent and should cover the entrance of the entire enclosure whenever someone is welding.

Improvement Ideas

• the black "add-on" curtains (currently under the wide red workbench) could get a more or less fixed rail system in the near future based on their actual use

Welding Table

We brought the sturdy green steel table (formerly a DIY table saw) out of the metal workshop and welded a vise to it.

For ease of transport (although it should probably stay outside in the long term), we welded two coasters to its base so you can roll it around when one side is lifted.

This is not a proper welding workbench, but the best we have at the moment. As always, improvements are very welcome ;-)
