I've seen ppl use a vise grips with welded lumps and a valley ground on the other side, but this is freakin awsome. Next time I have some tubing, I'll give it a shot, except it will be way overbuilt. I want to do stainless next...

not only a good idea but the end result looks clean, impressive

You'll want to grind the galvanization off the washers. Or be a real man, use fluxcore, and breath those fumes in deep.

I just went and grabbed a thicker stainless steel washer and it welded perfect

Hope it works good
