Anything welding

For anyone with a JD2 bender, or I guess any other bender that might work better with bending lube...I've been using this electrical wire pulling lube to lube the follower/material that slides through it. It is water based and just basically just wipes off. And pretty cheap at Lowes. I tried using an oil based lube in the beginning and it sucked when it came time to clean and weld.

 

Busted out some more on a rear bumper. The receiver tube isn’t plumb so I’ll have to redo that and add bracing.

 

I'm finishing up the rear bumper and added braces from bumper to the frame. And my notcher makes nice end caps. Just use the correct ID.

 

So I take it you never plan on removing that bumper lol

 

If I ever do, I have tube clamps to weld in after I cut the braces.

 

Went and installed these today at the MGM Grand pool area for some event. Have to go back at 10 pm and take them down .
12' tall 12' at the base. All .250 plate and 4"x4"

 

Idk, I didnt but it.

I hust noticed! You’re the one that had the submarine!

 

1hour and 15 minutes from my front door, to the MGM, take apart my light box monster and return home.
4 hour minimum. $$$$$ good money today.
Supposed to get back on my wooly mammoth tusks tomorrow.
Cheers from sin City.

 

People that change names should maybe tell us.

He did nothing but get out there knocking on doors so to speak .

Always trying to upgrade his skill level which never hurts anyone.

Being able to travel to the good paying jobs helps.

It comes down to what you want for yourself getting employers to pay for schooling helps. I took advantage of that over the years

I was told Friday " I could use another 100 good welders I have that much work" Quite common in this area now How good are these companies to work with I can`t say

 

Being willing to work at all kinds of odd hours and working events is really where the money at.

 

Well, after a couple years of running a bed rack and RTT, the cracks in the bed were a testament to the abuse the truck has been through. So, time to try to fix up the body panels and make a few modifications to the bed rack so the cracks don't come back. Hopefully.

And boy, sheet metal welding sucks. Kudos to the guys who do it for a living!

Installed my little structure at a private pool at Ceasars palace yesterday. Went together like Legos.
Next Monday I start 3 bars for the pool at the Venetion.
Lots of work, not enough time.
If anyone knows any fabricators in Vegas looking for work, hit me up. As much OT as you want up to 80 hours a week.

 

Right on time for summer.

 

I thought most of Texas was up here building pipelines

 

Found this ladder rack for $50. It didn't fit at 1st. It fits now.

Seems to work just fine.

 

Great find

 

Do you need to buy a few ladders to haul around??

 

Lol.
Kayaks.

I just became a yuppy.
