Anything welding

4 joints down, 4 to go. This has been super hard to weld. I can only do 2-3 joints then I gotta walk away. Each one takes me like 30 min.



The big ass gaps burn up your concentration quick. I need a chop band saw bad.

 

it started with cleaning the basement.

one thing led to another. suddenly i was ordering parts and working in the garage with the welder.

 

Forgot to post in here. Me and buddy tackled his frame rust issues.....

 

That job sucks! I got the t-shirt.

Congrats on keeping the Tacoma on the road!

 

I got those shirts too! Shit job for sure!

 

i will do a job like this over a floor in a garbage Truck in the hot weather any time.

No matter the truck is pressure washed every day The most interesting smells cook out while welding

Putting new floors in cans is worse then any vehicle welding.

 

I turned this piece of aluminum into this boat

does it count if its at your place of work?

(my personal boat)

 

You damn right it is!

Fellow aluminum boat builder here myself.

 

Where at ??????? Hell yea brother

 

Michigan. I stick to unpowered drift boats. Much less coastie reg hoops to jump thru.

Turn you phone sideways and there is a link to my last drift boat build.

I have to build a couple more in the next 6 months or so.

 

Building your boat when you own the company or have an interest could go either way.

 

I been there 7 years and love fishing/boating/camping…… and welding. Lol

 

To me it seems like a win/win situation.

If I owned a boat building company and an employee wanted to build his own boat, that boat would be built for cost and it would be built to the highest standard.

It could be written off as advertisement for the company.

Everyone wins.

 

Looked at your drift boat build, nicely done sir! Respect to anyone who can do that.
And I agree with you on that. ^^ well said

 

proper Al tig. What machine are you running?

 

i like that idea!!

Quite different using company assets to make personal profit when the owner finds out.


It came down to making restitution or the concrete motel.

 

Only tig on that boat is the motor vents seen in last pic, which I mig welded on, but otherwise all mig.
