Welding Class Final Project

Welding Class Final Project
so right now im taking a welding class and we have the option of doing a final project or doing a write up. (i wanna do the project) haha. and i was thinking of building a custom light bar...
but does anyone have anything else that is rather simple that i could build?
as for the light bar i was thinking of just building it out of steel tubing and just making the corners sharp (would be a different look) as opposed to rounding them b/c i dont have access to a pipe bender up here at school. even getting at a saw to cut the tubing is going to be a big part of this... but anyways, i was thinking of building a flange so that the bar just bolts onto the frame in the same place as my towhooks and just doubling them up.
i dunno yet i have to get out to my truck and see what kind of space i have left.
anyway, any ideas or suggestions.
OH, throw this out there: if you guys suggest something, and i build it, and you like it.,.. just pay for the shipping and its yours... haha. otherwise, no practice is bad practice.
k, thanks for the time guys!

I would try and build a hitch if I were you, seems kinda easy!

Good luck with the Light bar. Do you have any drawings of how you are designing it? I would love to see it.

uh, if i have time, send me some schematics for the mounts and ill see what i can do. i have a limited amount of shop time... but if i have extra ill try and get it done for you dude. just send me the specs.
and no i dont have a drawing. well i do, but not on the computer. the bar im thinking of making looks really similar to the westin safari style light bar. http://www.stylinconcepts.com/parts....rtfamilyid/926
except without the skid plate.
