For any who happen to follow this blog , Sorry I have been super busy welding.
This is a table built for Beyond Clothing. The primary process was GMAW - (MIG) welding
The hooks were formed using a combination of forge and a Oxy Acetylene torch in junction with an on the spot jig than my friend and co worker Jon made (I only got to make 5 hooks and it was awesome).
Sadly the final product was packed ( yes we packed it ) and I did not take photos, boooooo.
Next up is Odin Brewery. All the metal work on the table and bench bases is mine , again all GMAW welding
No I did not built the bar stools!
Simple foot rails.
Finally some GTAW (TIG) welding - yesh.
This is a duel lower shock mount repair for a friends 4X4 F250.
100% penetration was needed so back gouging was required.
The joint was prepared with a double V grove pictured below.
The face was welded under the gussets than, the gussets were tacked into place.
after welding the gussets in place I put the root pass (the root pas is the first pass of 2) in the top of the plate after letting the plate cool to 140 Degrees Fahrenheit the cover pass was welded in. .
after the top was welded out i turned the plate over to reveal the back side.
The joint was than ground to show clean metal with no imperfections before welding was to be done.
Than the first pass on the back side was welded in.
After allowing the plate to cool to roughly 140 degrees F. the cover pass was welded out.
This is the finished mount painted and installed.
The next photo set is more GMAW.
These are some random projects I came across on my camera and thought I would throw into the post for fun.
HAPPY WELDING !!!
