What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

That's a big project you got into this time - step up from the usual smaller farm repairs - hope they're paying you well for your super good looking welding - nice to see something like that coming together from what looks like mostly recycled material - only big piece they got appears to be an upper shaker deck from another plant - so do you hope to have the wash plant finished before winter ? any chance if it stays local to you we could see a video of it up and running pay ? projects like this restore faith that there are real guys still out in the field doing great work building something that will work & last as there was a recent bit depressing post about the state of your country & peoples attitudes to work & ability to do something other than shuffle papers in an office or flip burgers badly - kinda reminded me of the film idiocracy !

All the best.

They will have it setup by spring.
there's more welding that will have to be done, joining these pieces together, and making that hopper bigger.
I'ts all getting hauled to a remote mine. Don't know if I'll get to see it again.

Thanks man.

Merry Christmas

Yes, it got very tiring.

Thank you.

Glad you're back, and glad your absence was due to being busy. Busy is a good problem to have.
I'll check that slideshow out.
