Halloween Spider
Over the last couple of weeks, I've decided to do more welding and fabrication in the shop. The health problems that I've mentioned previously have really put a stop to riding my bike, so welding has been a good stress reliever from the day job.
I saw something similar to this spider on the Miller Electric website and figured that we could always use another Halloween decoration.
I used the ring roller on some 1/4" hot rolled round bar to make the outside oval and inside circle of the web. I then rolled large rings of 1/8" round bar to make the webbing.
The body of the spider is a 1/2" to 3/8" black pipe threaded reducer, two 1/2" washers, a 3/8" all thread rod coupling, and two 3/8" nuts. The legs are 1/8" cold rolled round bar.
It was a fun project, and it looks great out front by our jack-o-lanterns.
As Winter approaches, I'm going to be trying to do more and more welding projects. I just have to find an affordable local steel dealer. Buying this stuff at Lowe's is getting expensive!
