Icehouse Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I thought if we had a thread for welding everyone could post here pics in here. I will start, this is a test bench I build for work. I did all the welding, while an engineer cut all the pieces. Quote Link to comment

Duke Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Here are some from when I put the roll bar in my 510. I have a few others. I don't do much non car stuff though. Well, I did make a bbq back in high school, but I don't have any photo's of that. Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 damn thats clean! i really REALLY need to learn to weld..... Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 the fuck is that for!?! looks indestructible! HAHA its a test bench for bolt inserters, the engineers needed one to test there machines before the go on the real machine. It needs to be burley, the bolt inserter grabs bolt the slides over and inserts it, the slide action is violent to say the least. There old test bench kinda self destructed. What? No close-ups of the welds? :rolleyes: I used the mud gun so they aren't as classy as Dukes but I try :D I actually was taking one but my phone rang after the first pic, maybe tomorrow I can get some. Duke your welds on steel are nice!! I have a tough time on steel, I can do it, its just hard to get the weld beads consistent. Next time I do some steel I will post it up so you can see.

peanut2425 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) This is when I was only first starting to weld real beefy stuff and it was like a year and a half ago I don't know how to TIG but I would love to get myself one and learn Edited December 1, 2008 by peanut2425 Quote Link to comment
Nissan_Boy85 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I can weld...kinda and not that well, but I'm learning! Quote Link to comment
hughdogz Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I'm not a good welder...I have a Millermatic 135 120 volt MIG welder. I taught myself, but I should probably take a class at junior college. Anyway, I used it to fill holes for when I shaved my N42 intake manifold: Finished: I can spot weld okay though :lol: Quote Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 This is when I was only first starting to weld real beefy stuff and it was like a year and a half ago Damn, that looks pretty damn good to me for someone only starting. I'm not a good welder...I have a Millermatic 135 120 volt MIG welder. I taught myself, but I should probably take a class at junior college. The initial pic may not be all that pretty, but it sure buffed out fine, right? With practice there will be less to grind/buff. Quote Link to comment
jovial_cynic Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I don't have any "real" welding pictures handy (nothing structural or functional), but I do have a TON of figurines I've made with my oxy/acetylene torch. http://newprotest.org/welding Quote Link to comment

Guest DatsuNoob Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Here's an old one taken with some weird camera effect, I thought it looked kinda cool. Quote Link to comment

ronnny Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I don't have any pics but i do do maintenance in a weld shop. have over 40 robots and way more hand welders. I am fair and just not took the time to try tig welding. I have lots of people to give me pointers though. I finally got my own stick welder at home. It is one of the first 220 craftman welders ever made. Was probly on a farm most of its life. When running numbers are up the shop can go through more than 5000lbs of wire a week. But now over half the shop is off for the rest of the year. Quote Link to comment
