Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I hope that's just the primer.

 

Will it be in your driveway tomorrow?

 

I wish! He said he plans on keeping it in the family since it was his grandfathers when new.

 

Good morning all have a great day

 

Yep, past the hump now

 

Meh, just third Monday today.

 

Oh no
Yeah...I was feeling a little down yesterday all about work. Went to bed 45 minutes early...yep woke up 45 minutes early.
I did get grass mowing chore finish though.

 

I decided to hire out. I'm starting a second job next week and that will pay to have it mowed. May even pay the guy to do the landscaping out front next spring.

 

Powder coater brought a couple chairs over with some holes. Had to turn the welder down to negative amperage. Used a thin piece of sheet metal for a backer on the second one. They aren’t perfect but the paint will hide a lot of it.

 

Picked the basket up from paint and made some clamps.

 

Damn... that's like welding fly-shit to pepper! Well done, sir!

 

This sounds crazy, but grab a stick welding rod and break the coating off of it. Use it as a filler rod working into the puddle, works perfect in cases like this. I have to do this sometimes repairing sheet metal on side pans. Usually I'm using all stick, but would probably work for MIG too. Pretty much TIG welding with a stick welder. Some of my co-workers call it wizardry or witchcraft

 

All stainless on the clamps?

 

Looks...black...and not lime green!

 

My boss and a few other folks I know call that the "texas tig" method.

 

Clamps and bolts are

 

Drilled and tapped some holes in the shell brackets and made some more brackets to get the fishing rod holders mounted.

 

Fancy!

 

What type job are you taking on as a 2nd?

 

Grill cook at the DQ across the street from my house.
