BS18 / WELD-IT-YOURSELF KIT

Lone Star Barn Star, 18 in

The classic faceted barn star, in 10 ga steel you weld yourself. Ten laser-cut facets rise to a point over five ribs, and every facet drops onto tabs that put it in exactly the right place, so the ridges come out straight. Weld the ridges and valleys, then let it rust or paint it barn red. Hangs on one screw. Cut in Greenville, Texas.

What you’ll need

  • MIG or flux-core welder (a 120 V machine handles 10 ga)
  • Angle grinder with a flap disc and wire wheel
  • Rubber mallet
  • Welding helmet, gloves, jacket and safety glasses

Finishing

  • The parts ship bare with a light oil film. Wipe them down with a degreaser before welding.
  • For a rusted barn look, leave it raw outdoors, or speed it up with a vinegar, peroxide and salt spray, then seal it with clear coat.
  • Or paint it: barn red, flat black or galvanized silver. Prime first if it lives outdoors.

Safety

  • It weighs about 10 lb. Hang it on a screw into a stud, or on a wall anchor rated for 25 lb or more.
  • Grind the tip flats and the edges smooth; steel points can cut.
  • Weld in a ventilated area cleared of anything that can burn, and let the star cool before handling it.
