Anything welding

Life's been keeping me busy.

Needed to deviate a bit and get back to what I intended on doing.

Got the table filled with this stuff from Eastwood as I've heard good things about their fluid additive -





Figured I'd give it a go at a motor mount (customer order) as my first piece. I actually went from DWF file to immediately getting my setup for post process.

Mainly because my friend stopped by as he wanted to watch it in action but needed to leave shortly after-

The path -



The finished product; I had to knock the holes out as I haven't figured out values for cutting holes yet -



Cut piece next to the actual model -



They're damn near identical -



Edges are clean as hell after knocking the little dross off -



Backside too -



Any and all help and criticisms are welcome.

This is my first actual cut with holes, and of something I drew up on Fusion 360 to mimic a motor mount I was able to borrow.

I made a similar drawing on Draftsight but haven't cut that pattern out yet.

 

I want to comment further, but I think the learning as you advance on your own is more satisfying.

I'm still learning my table and love every minute.

 

Yeah no worries!

I absolutely understand there's a lot to learn and experience to gain, just like welding.

I just hope to learn the software side a bit quicker than the current pace as I have homework as well as a big essay due completely unrelated to this stuff.

That and of course life stuff so time is really limited!

Gonna make a little base for it and then make some little tea light candle holders behind the hearts to illuminate the letters when the candles are lit

 

I'll try to remember this for another 9 years from now

 

Romance is not dead!

 

haha! If you’re on year 2 then you have “cotton” coming up as your traditional gift. If it’s year 3, then it’s Leather!

hahaha! Happy wife, happy life. Always gotta make ‘em feel important and special!

 

Year #5 is wood...

 

Give her the woood!!!!

 

New welder cart! Lol

 

I hope she loves it!!

 

haha thanks man. She loves little things that are hand made so I’m sure she’ll be happy. She’s not materialistic whatsoever so she likes these kind of things

 

Wish I had me one of them plasma tables about now haha

 

No " likes"!

 

If you can draw it up in cad and aren't in a huge rush use sendcutsend

 

No one near where you live to cut that for you?

 

looks like that first run has crossed the plate the second has been waved on!

Everyone that has a table wonders how did I manage not having one..

 

oh absolutely they just want your first born child

 

always forget about that I’ll keep it in mind for my next project if I don’t forget
