Indestructible Non Spill coffee mug holder for your workshop!

[Don2222]

Hello
In my 6 hour welder, Plasma & Abrasion Metal Training I made a 1” piece of steel stock 5-1/2” long weld to a 10 Guage base plate 4” x4” square.
So I used this piece to make a workshop cup holder. See Pic 1
Then I ordered a Walker 41893 Exhaust Pipe Connetor from Summit Racing. Cut the grooves off each end with the abrasion cutter. Cut a notch in the bottom back of the muffler pipe so it rides the square steel stock with the plasma cutter. Welded the steel stock so the muffler pipe rides it. Then cut a notch with the DeWalt Sabre saw in the top front of the muffler pipe so the cup handle slides in! Gave it a shot of flat black primer coat and a nice Satin Black finish coat.
Mount to the workbench and all done!
