Anything welding

Im kinda disappointed. No one noticed the bastard square. 1 is different from the others.

 

I see it now that you said something. The slots are cut differently on one.

 

Yep. I didn't even know I did it until I saw the pic myself. It hurts nothing so I'm leaving it as it is.

 

Me want

 

Build a tube bumper they said

 

hows that tube bender working out for ya?

 

I've only done one bend. More to come. Haven't mounted it yet, tomorrow.

 

Man I need to get a notcher
Doing this with a grinder ain’t fun

Bottom 2 are coming off to be redone

 

HF special. Quality hole saws. Good investment to get started.

I have bought no tools almost for 2 years

 

What is the advantage to the 4 and 1 hole square

 

They are great to use. I have all sizes and use them everyday

 

I made some ditch light brackets that attach to a fender bolt. I don’t think the bolt is really up to the task but I wanted to give it a whirl anyway because it looked easier than messing with the hood hinge bolts

time will tell!

I need to grind them down to fit between the body panels a bit better then clean and paint them.

 

Some pics of my almost finished welding table. Still need to fasten the top to the base, not sure how I’m going to do this. The top is not flat so I may weld in a cross bar under the middle and bolt down the middle to snug down the top.

 

all got sent out for X-ray. Will know the results in 3-4 days. 2- 1” carbon FCAW and 3-3/8” plate FCAW but with a weird wire I’ve never heard of before. Apparently it’s used on ships a bunch. Did all 5 test in about 5 hours when we had 2 days to do em lol

 

wish you success

 

Please elaborate. I'm not fallowing.

 

OP's quest for a welding position in the shipyard - ie, X-ray weld tests. My mistake, should be addressed t @weldertaco

 

I'd just tack weld the corners, then straight edge all around the perimeter and find the low spots.

Once low spots were found just jack up those areas then weld in some angle clips. I don't know what you are going for when it comes to perfectly flat, but I would be more than happy with under a 1/16" .

 

I’m not used to X-ray structural stuff lol.
