Anything welding

Why're you cutting it up?

 

Don't the relentless ones already have a winch mount?

 

No worries..

Finally had some time to sit down with Bend Tech.. I was having a hell of a time with the assembly feature until this afternoon. Like a mongo, I was overlooking the fact that the entire program is reliant on center/center mating and dimensions. I was mating my pieces edge to edge instead of centered.

Duh.

Think I might dick around with a headache rack tomorrow.

 

Damn that sucks!

I'm happy I didn't got with the DIY now seems to be tons of issues. IMHO I would just hold onto it until someone wants it and just build one your self, though no plasma cutter would be a bitch.

 

Well. My weld test passed the visual test. They're bending em tonight.

Either I officially have a job or get to start job hunting again.

Get to find out tomorrow morning. Not real confident with em tbh so keeping my hopes down for now.

 

I feel for ya, must be the aluminum someone was so obsessed with

Theres a few things I would change about mine, but I kinda welded myself in wioth some shitty welds too though they don't affect it structurally and it aint gonna care about love taps. I'm sure if you make your own it'll be awesome.

good luck!

 

Finally getting the new MM252 dialed in

 

Looks robot welded.

 

I was gonna say the same thing. Check the back of that dudes' neck for a bar code/serial number.

 

He does have one but it was from his incarceration days and we don't talk about it.

Matt does some awesome shit for sure. I have his LT kit, like the one pictured, on my first gen.

 

Last night I had a customer bring me some parts to weld that he tacked together with a flux core. I didn't know mig and flux core aren't very compatible. As soon as I got near the tacks my puddle would go nuts and start spattering all over and wouldn't lay nice at all. I ended up grinding all his tacks completely out. Learned something there.

 

Contemplating trying to heat form some UHMW for the top bar, in order to avoid rusting from the inevitable scratches.

 

Wooh. Officially certified in flux core, metalcore and sub arc welding in the flat position.

 

Check out this weld I saw on a local camaro for sale. The whole cage looks like this.

 

Hey gang, I'm new here and new at welding.. Had a friend show me the ropes and help me build a big kinetic sculpture for an arts festival last summer..



I was lucky to get a commissioned project as well for a city and sponsored by Sprite, so this bad boy is sitting in a local park until it rusts away


After that, I decided to take a metal sculpting and welding course at the community college.. It was fun to play with the forge and all the tools they have at our disposal. Looking forward to working on more projects, and doing bigger installations in the future, hopefully!



My first rose

 

Wow!

All I can say is every great welder was once a shitty welder. Hopefully their skills have improved.

 

Very nice! I don't have the patience for creating art, unless you consider dirty silhouette cut outs.

Welcome as well.

Awesome, congrats!

 

I worked on a dune buggy that a Craigslist welder welded that looked that bad. Dude didnt even notch the tubes just filled the gaps with nasty ass welds.

 

Very nice sculpture Jayne!
