Incredible welds

Stripping column bonnet for a whisky still. Rolled the condenser coils too. It's a shame to polish it.

 

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 clean as usual!

 

Thanks Josh. If mine are clean, yours are godly.
Take your time- I'd hate to be the reason you blow your arm apart or something.

I love it when this thread pops up to the top

All incredible stuff and utterly inspiring, albeit tinged with a dose of resigned despondency! ha ha.

On a very good day with a complete alignment of the stars I can produce maybe an inch or so of something worth thinking is getting somewhere close to being notable, or not!

Nonetheless, we're all hopefully learning all the time and this thread is amazing. So many thanks and do please keep it coming.

Keep them coming

 

Here some of my bubblegum

 

A pair of 3/4 ton Ford/Stude truck spindles to be made into bolt on for vintage a stockcar-


I don't have self control enough not to T.I.G. everything.

 

More stainless still parts. .

 

Think I'll just go out to the welding table and smash my hands with a 40 oz ball pien.............

 

I hate this thread. If I could choose between singing like Sinatra, dancing like Astaire or running beads like these, hand me the helmet.

 

I didn't see this before but yes! Started drumming at 6 and still do. I thought I was alone!

Just found this thread (4 days ago, takes a while to make it through). Very inspiring.

@Justus - hope the recovery is complete and your back at it soon. Love your art!

 

Still learning, but here's a few welds I did on some turbo pipes I built for a customer.

 

Some recent welds on exhaust collectors from my new job at SPD.

 

Hey thats fantastic but how did you get the tig in thoughs tight gaps between the runners

 

Cheating, its done on a positioner

 

On the outside I have about 1.25 inches stickout of the tungsten and on the inside i use a small 45 deg pencil torch.

 

Everytime I weld something my son tells me'
" It looks like Helen Keller welded it "

 

After a couple comments like that from my wife I quit showing her anything.

 

After looking at the welds on here, all I can bring to the table are incredibly bad welds. I'll keep those to myself.

 

I weld like that in my dreams

 

Novice here so why does this type of welding produce several different coloration's?

 

Most of the really colorful welds are tig welds on stainless steel. The color comes from temperature and the amount of shielding gas coverage.

 

It comes off with a wire brush.

 

Some of my aluminum T.I.G/M.I.G. work-

 

We have a winner!!!!!!
