This guy-Steve that is. Welding in and on trailers. That man can weld anything anywhere. I know I've seen some stuff of his where he is welding like 1 inch pipe that is buried with 10 other pipes and doing it with a mirror usin the foot pedal with his knee, wearing sunglasses basically and sunscree...

It's been a while since I posted anything substantial.

I just found this on eBay. Has anyone used it? It can sharpen 1/8", 3/32" and 1/16". It can fit a Dremel, Black & Decker and Milwaukee rotary tool. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Scottsman-Tungsten-Electrode-Sharpener-Attachment-Kit-For-Grinders/162251621779?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m185...

I can't reply to your PM, you have the feature blocked. Email?

Fixed it. Sorry about that.

Ok, I have to give it my best shot.

Though, I may go with the fusion instead of the filler.

Damn that's a nice e collection I got, this to start off: cksck-2348__1__16246.1450888183.1280.1280.jpg Is there any significant difference between the alumina cups, and the 2 other types (high strength ceramic and silicon cups) I beleive those are ceramic, but not 100% sure, so is it A good idea t...

Enrollment for new classes for AWS is open at Northshore Tech in Hammond. These are night classes (so it shouldn't interfere too much with day jobs). The instructor is CWI and CWE certified and a retired welder (25+ years). He's good, patient and loves to share his experience. Northshore Tech. Conta...

There is now a job available in Slidell. The company is Elite Cryogenics, and is where I work. They have opted to hire through a staffing agency, "Treo", but if you have the right qualifications I might be able to get you a direct-hire interview. The most basic requirements are TIG on SS ...

These are just my #17/18/26 parts. (I haven't organized my #9/20 parts yet.) Yes, I'm OCD when it comes to my tungsten sizes.

got a question for you rocketsurgeon, you seem to know your war around the crackhouse, uhmm, welding shop. ;) and from what i read you got a metric crapton of the stuff that you tried, and all that stuff, so ill cut to the chase, my welder is arriving in 2 weeks, (everlast powertig 250ex) and all i...

SOLD!!!!!

I just picked up another CK 20 torch, when I found a local who's company has a mandated time change interval on their torches. I couldn't resist when offered a 25' set of superflex hoses for $30. Despite trying to keep my equipment safe and protected, but you never know what will happen when you ar...

Now I'll have to go and buy a 9 or 20 torch. YAY!.......I mean, DARN!

I recently purchased this:

(I know, I know. I'm weak willed and just couldn't stay "clean" for very long. )

Looking good! Keep at it!

I tried switching direction, didn't work well so l stopped. I will spens a lot of time working with my non dominant hand next time as this is something that must be done. The beads appear to switch direction on this pad because I started in the center of a warped plate to see if l could pull it fla...

Is he not checking in with each of you at all?

That was how my class started. Safety lecture>O/A torch instruction (so you can cut your own coupons)> brief machine introduction>start welding. It isn't a bad way to teach a craft that is "hands on". As long as the instructor can weld and knows how to pass a weld test (and having a CWI ce...

I'll look it up. Thanks.

That's awesome! Sounds like you have good game plan as well.

I have watched almost every video Jody has made and I know he hasn't made one about weld symbols, blue prints and WPS.

It could be a multi-part or a refresher type video.

The AWS website lists lots of classes and schools, everywhere. Even if the local school doesn't have the schedule you need, you might be able to talk to the instructor about after hours or side lessons. You might be able to contact a local high school that has a shop class that teaches welding and t...

Freddie/Richard: To answer your question, it is one of the cryo fuel tank domes for the SLS rocket core stage. This one in particular is the aft LOX dome. Once (if) the core stage is complete, the Orion capsule will be stacked on top of the core stage and launched into deep space. The first 2 missio...

This isn't even close to the work others have posted here, but I am proud of it none the less. It's the last one for quite a while. We made 3 test articles, 4 for qualifying and 4 for flight. 12 welds each at 110" each weld.

Bitter sweet as it is, it was good to say "Finished!"
