Show us what you welded today

[swampwelder13]

Any idea on how much it uses? I'm looking at this one seriously, but on a good day it gets 15MPG:

Welding away in my little shop.

[manning]

I didn't do any welding today either....
Combined some barley, that's all....

The ladder to the cab and unloading auger look like you're running a 4420. Is that correct? That was the first combine I ran (not including pull-types). I always enjoyed working with that machine - belts and chains running all over.

I don't know what it gets for mpgs either but if I had to guess I'd say probably around 3-5 MPGs. I mean it's a 14L engine.

Built a new clamp for holding vertical and overhead weld coupons.





And here's the whole demo stand


Forgot to add

I used a dynasty 200dx 135A with a 3/32 1.5% lanthanated tungsten. No gas lens yet. Filler is 1/8 308L

He says on a good day on the highway it will get 6 mpg

First hour of having a go at aluminium tig, got a new Unimig ac/dc 200 with foot pedal.
1/8 ali, er5356 2.4mm
It's different to mild thats for sure

What was your amperage? Tungsten size? Cup size? Just prodding for info to give pointers. Not bad for an hour of torch time.

[moose2367]

2.4mm tungsten, no7 cup, had it on 200a but feathering a bit,first ime using a foot pedal too.

[teachagmech]

It's been a while since I've run on .100 material, but I think 200A might be a little high. Can you post pics of the back side?

[moose2367]

Thats the back side, I did another run there too, you can see on the right where I had a slight blow out at the end.
I wasn't at 200 for much if any of the time, just using the pedal

[teachagmech]

Try to set max amperage where you are running around 2/3 pedal or more at least for the majority of the weld.

Looks like you need more filler. It'll cool the puddle better and add more reinforcement.

Keep up the good work

[GlenC]

Dang that sucks. I feel for you.

When that happens to me, I head straight for the chiropractor!!!

[MikeGyver]

Nothing new to post up so I'll post some more pics that I've been meaning to from that twin turbo corvette build I was doing the welding on (back from page 12)...



chopped the back off for cowl clearancing




re-powdercoated


Bigger intercooler outlet was needed and at a specific angle to match the next pipe


some bungz too

[MikeGyver]

Continued...


shortened the ends of the headers and welded on V-band clamps


had to slightly re-route a header primaty tube for brake booster clearance

[melsdad]

That is art work Mikegyver!!

[VPT]

Very very nice Mike!

[Excalibur]

Man that's a lot of stuff under the hood of the vette, very cool build. Nice work, really nice.

[docwelder]

these are clipper racks for the barber shop. made from stainless flats drilled and countersunk for plug welding from the reverse side. hooks are scrap bolts with the thread removed and bent in a press.

Helped do this a couple of months ago with a friend.
