Anything welding

She would have had more up trust me!

She toned down quite a bit. Hell, I'd be happy with just 1 pillow on the bed (my own) but we have 4 which is a nice compromise from 6 or more!

 

Love my little guy. Love how he wants to hang out with daddy and do what I do!

 

Some of yawl saw this but thought I’d share it in here. I did not weld it, I just get to make it straight

 

Make a custom bracket to allow it to be held on the mill .

How big of a vice you have will determine how to make the bracket.

What kind of tolerance do you need to hold when done?

With all those welds That has to be very expensive custom manifold .

i hope the boss man bid quite high on this one.

 

No drawing, customer just ask for it to be flat. I started on the square pad first. Took .060” off of it, almost there

 

That one time I welded something...

 

Back in the equipment repair days doing some line boring

 

After 15 years of hating my two piece floor jack handle wobbling like a 2 piece floor jack handle ... that'll teach it

 

Might be a good idea to get him used to ear plugs so they become a habit.

 

I’ve watched a video on how this is done. Soooo badass!!!

 

Absolutely! Thank you. Anytime I have him in the garage with me while I’m cutting or when he helps me run my plasma table, I always give him muffs

 

My tinnitus, from years of being too manly to take care of myself, agrees with this statement.

 

Its a neat process, quick and effective.

 

used my buddies Langmuir pro to cut out some rear shock mounts

than tig welded them all togethor

 

Dude in Australia does some pretty badass stuff like that. He'll set his up to weld it, then bore it. Cooool

There it is!! That’s the one I was watching. It’s super cool!

 

Whats up with the back cap? Thats a new one on me, which is no great surprise, theres a lot of shit new to me. LOL

 

I had some money burning a hole in my pocket so I picked up (too many) novelty caps and grips from https://www.garbageweldkids.com/

Complete waste of money ... but fun to look at and the cap on my rig right now is UV reactive and the 'potion' in the bottle glows in the dark

I have the standard torch grip and back caps, but hey, gotta be different, just like everyone else.

 

Almost done with my trailer project. Was starting the tailgate last night and had that "why is it so bright, I can't see shit, oh dammit my helmet battery is dead" moment.

 

How bad was your headache the next day.

I only need 1 dead battery lense failure and my next day is a daylong headache behind the eyes.
