Anything welding

True that. It had a good bead in it atleast

 

My welding table project is just about finished. I was able to get my tubing cut, notched, and welded up for the legs. I had a little extra time, and welded up my 90* jigs too. The only thing I have left is adding a metal shelf to the bottom of the frame. I'll try to get some finished pictures this even.

 

Welding up some railing on top of these containers to pull our blue screens up and over and tie off to back of them

 

I have been happy with this setup, even if it's the smaller one.

I have cut 2x4" rectangular tube for a straight miter in one shot. More than large enough for my uses with DOM and square tube.

 

You have to use Safety Line yet can weld in short sleeves and Short pants ??

 

He's gonna get more sun burnt from the sun vs the weld flash. LOL

 

Burned is Burned no matter from what.

 

Falling is a little more serious than a burn.

 

Don’t even really have to use the safety line but I like to not fall. And I’m trying to work on my tan dude

 

Decided to take a stab at building my own poling platform. Using thin wall conduit for the frame materials. Initial testing points to it being a win.

Still need to do final clean up of the brackets. Round off any sharp edges, weld on some expanded steel to stand on and make it a bet less janky looking.

I still need to do something different with the hand rail. Thinking on that presently.

Holds my 220 lbs just fine.

 

Going back to school for Welding at Daytona State this fall. Graduated with Mechanical Engineering in 2013 but always wanted to learn to weld properly, so here we go!

 

I hope they have a Good Program!!

 

I'd take a broken leg/arm over a serious burn any day. I find burn pain to be the hardest to manage. Now if you're falling to your death... well that's a different story

 

I just looked at the picture again. I wouldn't want to fall from that. Nope nope.

 

I had a pretty good discovery today.. realized I’ve been using 1/8” thick 14” cut off wheels designed for demo saws, in my chop saw, and that’s why it has sucked so badly. Picked up some 3/32 chop saw blades and I’m stoked. What a fucking difference. Don’t want a carbide chop saw or band saw anymore

 

I can't help but think Ryan Reynolds became homeless and started living out of his truck when I see your avatar.

 

Made some more fittings at work yesterday

 

That's what happened to me,
I have the evolution rage 3, used the factory blade, cut some stuff, it was good. Clamping was difficult at first, I tried to use the crappy stuff that came with it, ended up using C / F Clamps on the fence to get a good hold.

back to the blades,

Factory blade cut steel decent, but dulled quickly, less then 50 cuts on various things I had round the garage

next was a $30 cheapie from Amazon. I feel this one would have lasted more then 1 cut if I wasn't a goofball and properly secured the metal before trying. the metal slid sideways a bit and stripped about 1/2 the teeth and flung the metal I was cutting somewhere in the shop. I count myself blessed I still have my eyes and fingers after that one.

Finally I have the Diablo Steel Demon Cement II Carbide blade. Good blade for me, cut real nice if you went smooth, lasted the longest until.. you guessed it... got sloppy and did not secure the metal being cut properly. that one broke the fence. Slammed the steel between the two sides of the fence and snapped right in two ( taking out several teeth on the blade with it )

after that, I took a break from using it. Just this past week I started to make a replacement fence, this time angle iron, and I'll be damned sure to secure all my work tightly.

 

Ahhhh bandsaws are so sloooow!!!

 

Are you being sarcastic? I honestly don't know if you are saying that or not.
