No just consistent foot pedal add filler mover add filler move etc. I do use that technique but only when it's very thick and not preheated.Cncdave wrote:these were all done with your technique of “Jam on the peddle, feed rod, move,wait,jam on peddle, feed rod,move, wait...etc??aland wrote:Those welds are looking pretty spanky there 5th Street!

Moving my wastegate straight to the turbine housing for real boost control, the WG is so huge (V60) that I didn't have a nice way to dump it so I decided to do a smokestack. Can't wait to hear how it sounds (in addition to the 4" Ti side exit exhaust I plan to do)
Also haven't done aluminum for a while so didn't want to get rusty. I'd been looking for a calf raise for my basement gym but haven't found anything reasonably priced that isn't shit. So I picked up a few pads, a pair of pillow bearings, dug through my metal supplier's offcuts for 1/4" tubing and made my own. Even put to use the spare shift knob I got with my 4 speed. I sorta expected it to fail as I use a lot of weight for calf raises but it's giving me faith in my work. The middle thigh pad post sees a lot of load and been serving me well

I'm going to give that method a try for a welding cart I am going to build.
As you jam on the pedal, I'm guessing you watch the puddle for it to get bright, and feed the rod, then move the arc forward, pause briefly and shampoo, lather rinse, repeat ???
I'm gonna practice on some scrap first, and will test various things out...the pedal seems better than using pulse, but I've seen people using 1-1.5 frequency on the pulse to get a similar effect.
My angle grinder died... which sucks. I bought one off ebay, but it hasn't arrived yet.
EDIT: Never mind, I found this video that Jody did. Seems Jody push the rod in as he pulses the pedal.

Ya kinda like that. With aluminum you're adding quite a bit of filler. I step on the pedal and start adding filler until the puddle is as wide as I like then taper off on the pedal while still adding filler until the puddle is calm then rinse and repeat. It all takes less then a second so it takes a bit of practicealand wrote:Cncdave wrote:these were all done with your technique of “Jam on the peddle, feed rod, move,wait,jam on peddle, feed rod,move, wait...etc??I understood.Cncdave wrote:Sorry, pedal.[WINKING FACE]

Looks really nice work & it's great when a familiar name returns on the forum - sadly a few have fallen recently - more newbies here now than vets.
Do keep posting pics if only to remind me how bad my eyesight is & Tig is best left to the young guns !

A flying bridge for a 28 foot boat. The first set are the original build to the customer's specs. He wanted all the lines from the bottom structure to continue into the top and the front legs had to land on top of the bottom pipes for control wire accesd. After completion he decided it was too tall. I had to cut it down 8 inches. I added kickers to match the bottom. Those are the second set of pics.
Also some interior rails that were built in place at a beach house in Panama City Beach.

Beautiful work! How long did the boat railing take you to build?

My daughter recons I need more exercise so she bought me a flatpak bike to ride in front of the tv at night instead if drinking beer and eating chips. My objection was more to questionable quality and suitability coming from a flat box, she assured me she researched it thoroughly and it would be suitable for me. She said if I peddled hard enough maybe I could make it to the beer fridge.
I assembled it, turns out it was made for the vertically challenged.
So I took it to the shop, cut it up and re-welded it with 3/4" sched40 pipe extensions to the seat and handlebars.
It fits me now and works. The peddle radius is still a little small, the peddle arms I need to look at closely as they may be die cast. The seat needs to be re-worked as currently it messes with my junk. The friction brake on the wheel is noisy. Overall the ergonomics is a fail but it was cheap right?
