The Jalopy Journal
Here’s a thing I wrote (full of stats and sources) about the myth of the skills gap:...
Preach. Old timers still look at 30/hr or 100k like it's the holy grail it was in the mid '90s. Cost of living keeps going up and, as a whole,...
DW, you may not believe me....but the box is leaning against my weld bench now. I'm thinking it will be my rehab project. Your welds are looking...
Very nice Robert! Actually, if anyone is interested...on Miller's YouTube channel there's a playlist of videos we've done together. Look for it...
Thank you sir.
I don't think I posted anything from the time I worked between ops #3 and #4. I'll throw up a few pics :) [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] The biggest...
Thank you sir. It's past the point of speedy, I just need it to work!
Surgery #4 was January 9th. New doc. They removed a tendon and grafted another one to the radius and ulna bone, pretty major ligament...
Light use doesn't mean the liner isn't bad. Troubleshooting machines is always funny...so many things it could be. The fact that it sets so...
Have you tried a different collet? Ever changed the liner?
Not so great. Set the pressure just high enough to get coverage. Adding more pressure is just gonna cause more turbulence and waste gas. One...
I'd really like a '51 or '52, I figured one day when I hot rod one I'll go that route. This one just spoke to me for some reason, had to get it....
That looks killer!
This one I walked through making a belt buckle. Some pretty cool welding shots here too, watch in HD! <iframe...
Thanks guys! I put a few hundred miles on it between surgeries, it's a blast!
I actually bought this in May. I was gonna get it delivered from a shop in Vermont, then that didn't work out and I decided to go get it in June....
Right on! My original idea(Which I think I'll still try sometime) was actually a "patchwork" look. Exposed welds are gonna be a big part of this...
I wish that was it! Carpal tunnel is like a 2 week fix these days, these two surgeries are putting me out for 6 months :mad: The carpal tunnel...

That happened, but that's a minor deal these days. They are cleaning that up at the same time. The ECU tendon has popped out of it's sheath...
I'm just a rookie building tanks...I think it turned out all right though! Test will be when I get back at it and how it actually works :o Rehab...
And rehab is.....ok. Left hand is maybe 80%, right hand is going under the knife on Monday! Doc asked if I wanted to hold off until the left...
It's not abnormal to create a magnetic field while welding(or sandblasting, or waterjet cutting). Coiling up a ground cable, especially that...
The videos I did with Miller just got posted. Here's the first one we recorded. I'd never built an oil tank for a bike before, I'm pretty stoked...
I have both on my Miller MultiMatic...I've been having so many issues with my hands that the foot pedal is just easier. And for bench welding...
I've got my own vices :) [IMG] An army of Monsters! by Brown Dog Welding, on Flickr
Ha, I wish...definitely could use it! :D
Well, I'm out of commission for a while. I've been out almost 2 months, and I'm not back until November. Having both arms operated on. [IMG] My...
A piece from a month or so ago, just got pics of it. Vintage mercedes welding supply. <a...
So....the year is off just a little bit. Just so you know, it is still 2013. *Edit: figured out how to change it. :)
