EASY WELDING PROJECTS FOR BEGINNERS
14-01-2020
Welding can be quite an intimidating skill to acquire – from the blasting hot welding guns to the expenses of gas and materials. We’ve created a list of easy welding projects to start off beginners looking to get into the hobby, so share this with anyone who might be interested in picking up welding.
Of course, we recommend learning a bit about MIG and TIG as well as safety practices before getting into a project, but these ideas are great to test and refine your new skills on.

Wine Bottle Holder
This project is cheap, easy, and can solve any fear you have towards stocking presents for friends and family this year. All that is needed is a simple but thick steel chain and an empty wine bottle. Ensure that your chain is not galvanised before you start and begin to drape and organise your chain into a structure that will hold a wine bottle.
Begin with the base of the structure, perhaps a circle, and weld the links of your chain together. Next, you’ll need to hang the stem of the holder so you can weld the links to remain upright. Next, you’ll need to lay the structure on its side and weld the hold that the wine bottle’s neck will rest through – you’ll need to ensure the hole is big enough for the bottle to fit. Once organised correctly, weld the links together to ensure that they’ll stick.
Welding the links together will mark the chain, so you’ll want to have some paint on hand to go make your wine holder worthy of being a birthday or Christmas gift. Match the colour of your chain to the receiver’s home if you’re willing to invest in lots of paints.
This is a very simple and cost-effective way to show your neighbours and family the creative side of welding. You don’t have to stick to the wine bottle holder theme either; why not twist the chain into a heart shape and send it to a loved one?
