CNC plasma cut? This forum is going to cost me money, er I mean more money.

Trust me you can live without a CNC plasma cutter for now. Don't need to get the wife to mad. If you wanted to get into custom signage or you need to cut a lot of similar parts and could make a decent check doing it-maybe then consider it.

Fishing platform and leaning stand for a bay boat. This is mostly anodized aluminum but the platform is 1/4 inch aluminum.

Worked on a bypass line for a big air compressor tank. 3 inch sch 40 carbon.

Here's where I cut it in and some finished pics

That's a big air compressor!

Nice work Josh.
That's kinda my ideal favourite job. 3", fab up on stands, bolt it up and weld it in, beer. Life's good.

Made for a good Saturday. Work plus drive time. 8 hrs of time and a half and 1 of double.

It's actually a bank of 4 large screw compressors. But the tank it bypasses is about 6 ft diameter and 16 ft tall.

I'll bet that would fill a tire pretty quick

Pronunciation question:porsh or porsha

No matter how you pronounce it, it's only spelled one way!

Well yeah but potato and potaaato(sorry it's the best I could do)are spelled the same when actually written out but certain people pronounce them differently. Same with vase and vaaz(again sorry). Is there like levels or is it just who cares, worry about finishing your junior in high school?

WTF? Somebody spiked the punch didn't they?

Koolaid? Sure I'll have a glass.

Nothing interesting - floor drain for a shop to fit an odd size opening.

Perfect example of something that should have been mig or stick welded...

TIG welded it instead because I like it that way

1/8" material, 1/16" filler, 150 amps in an attempt to approach mig speed
(I was in a hurry) One that turned out pretty good

Stuff from last month
