Once again we pull out the welder from the geek closet... just in time for it to blow up in a rather non spectacular and all together disappointing manner. Now I am not going to give any direction on welding or equipment. But I will leave you all with a warning that welding is not something for an unguided amateur to just pick up and do. There are several severe dangers you can expose your self to even with the best safety precautions and training. As this deck will be undergoing repeated stressing it's important that the welds on this project be strong and clean. No bubbles, no slag, no cracks, no n00bs.


Now here is a picture for reference of what this deck is supposed to look like. It is important that the inner part of the deck where the tiles are to be places have no raised welds to interfere with the movement of the tiles. Make sure that all joints are welded on all sides to insure maxim strength. When you get to this point clean it up and paint it as you like.
