How many times have you had to patch the flighting on those augers? Nice work.
I have more questions than answers

Finished a new welding positioner project that I have been working with a local machine shop on. Ran some tests, works well. Played around last night running some autogenous welds with the torch strapped to my steady-rest. These were done at 2pps. Different amp settings for the different spots. I guess its a pen holder for my desk at work. haha.

The titanium came out nice! Sucks having to wait for it to cool down though.

The whole thing was done consecutively alternating joint to joint. I think it's 4" sections maybe?

Those are done with a Dynasty 350 inverter. I'd like to try one with a Syncrowave, just for shits and giggles.

I don't pay for argon :D :D I think I was at 35-40cfh with a postflow of 18 seconds out of a Monster16. I didn't think to turn the preflow up, or I probably could have gotten even less discoloration on the restarts.

what do you do when work is slow and nothing to do for a few hours, you bend and weld up a brushed stainless mailbox to replace the broken plastic one that was on a rotting pole leaning into your driveway... and throw a quick name letter on it in the last 5 minutes of the day using the notcher and a cut off blade on the grinder... of course the rental house is still nasty but there's a nice shiny mailbox! ha...

This is a remodel of a poling platform. The customer bought a new motor with a jack and the platform had to be elevated 12 inches. I also had to add steps in the front due to the width of the fiberglass top.

Maybe not glamorous to you but involves serious skill and experience. Good job!
Now you have to elaborate on process and procedure used please.

the welding process is smaw (stick) we use 7018 for the vessel. This weld is a code or stamped weld it will be QCed under 31.12 boiler code ( no under cut or any indication while they pt it) and stamped with ASME stamp .after that we will hydro the tank to 300 psi twice the stamped pressure. This vessel is apart of a water treatment plant for a power house. Definitely not glamorous but I love what I do and being challenged every day and pushed to weld at a very high standard has put me and a very fortunate situation!
