My father-in-law has one too. Just not really wanting to weld inside the house as well. I guess, as a fitter, I am not doing alot of full-on welding.... so I am not what you would consider a "good" welder..... I would burn through in no time.... I hate pipe work. I leave it filled with holes for the welders ha ha! It is not moving enough to break the weld I am sure.... it just kinda "shimmies". I don't really know how to descibe.... it's enough to notice the movement. But thinking about structural work... a lot of it is bolted connections.... even bridge work is bolted connections so I am "hoping" I can do the same. My only real concern was the drilling of holes with the weight on top.... wondering if it would buckle. I really appreciate all the ideas and input.... and I am sure I may have taken you up on the offer if you were closer. Next time you come to Ed let me know.... I'l have some cold beer waiting ha ha!

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

The previous owner used this stand without any problems. Once you install stiffeners the only place that stand will go is through the floor.

1" of weld is only as good as the weld it self, if there is so much as a hair line crack to would not take much to rip. I would think about bracing the tank with maybe a temp 4x4 bridge just to hold the weight before drilling the holes in the frame. But who really know what might happen. I always air on the side of caution.
