We have a router table for the main parts. Then we just use a shear or band saw for everything else.

I haven't been around much lately due to some health reasons havent done any welding. Only did one project in months and it was my daughters new launch pad. Amazing how out of practice I was, felt like a beginner again and was shaky as hell. I got it done except blast deflector we designed not made yet. I'm not happy with my welding looks like crap but she likes it and its works.

why use standard nozzles after gas lens where invented. Kinda of like starting fires by rubbing sticks together.

Good to see you back again midget

Looks like a nice project, I like anything that will include smoke, fire and the possibility to explode

Thanks Andersk, it has been too long. There is a lot to catch up on.
Since you like things that explode you might like this one. Has nothing to do with welding though. These are some six inch shells from a New Years shoot.

Riding the gravy train on a Saturday night! 3/32 tungsten, #8 cup w/gas lens since I couldn't make it happen with a straight collet and #6 cup, and 4943 filler. Roughly 1-1.25rpm on the positioner with the welder set at 175, probably only using 100-125 as it gets to the end of the weld. ImageImage

I cut the tubes on a lathe and then used a miter gage on a belt sander to sand the angle. This was all done before I left on Friday, I just took everything home to weld it.

I love seeing all the great looking weld posted here. Myself, I wanted to learn tig welding to do small fabrication and repair of stainless steel parts for boats. Today I was able to help a friend by welding a mount back onto a porthole frame. Not a lot of welding just 4 tacks from 16 gauge to .025. While it was not the best looking weld it made him smile.

also 2 other small boat projects

Started working last night on a 16 inch 300# steam main under ground. There still digging up pipe trying to find the leak. It has an insulation case and a welded 24inch jacket. If they can't find the leak visually then there going to bring in a smart pig. It's a robot that can ultrasound the pipe from the inside. Either way we will be cutting off the jacket and repairing the pipe, or cutting out some holes big enough to get the robot in. We only have a one week window so it may not all happen this week. I'll post more pics as I can.

I work for North River boats so most of the things you see are for them.

@5th Street Fab

Just out of curiosity, are the long runs that you do done with mig? Do you use both processes?

It depends. I try to tig anything that will be seen or anything that's critical. Everything else is migged.
