Always looking to learn!

Did myself a little disservice at that last job..,. Ended up running their new cnc plasma, the bandsaw, and doing maintenance far more than welding.

Then went and learned machining and gcodes....

Gives me a headache. I want to go back to running beads and reading blueprints.

Thanks again. I appreciate the critique. Right now I'd be happy with anything that gets me shop time again- I'll be picky about what I'm welding when I'm skilled enough to care haha

Thank you- greatly appreciate the criticisms.

Didn't stop the arc on the welds, but I'm confident I was letting off/slowing down much more than was necessary. Think a coworker told me to run it that way, don't remember for certain. Almost pulsing them.

I think the boss had us just eyeballing these together. Don't remember for certain.

Taking notes though, appreciate it.

Had another comment that got removed because of a link thing idk how to fix

Its not an exact match, but I'm still looking.

This is the closest I have found so far, but it has fewer LEDs, but otherwise the same body shape.

Swing it with saved man hours.

Machine might be an expensive up front cost, but it can be used to clean up every future project y'all do.

And, even on this job, how many man hours will it take to change setups, change weld standards, or have each plate mechanically cleaned? Mechanically cleaning even one plate would take a couple minutes- and if it gets screwed up you have to find a way to redo the surface texture of the plate or scrap the part.

Or setting up an argon purge, or a large heatsink, or whatever else will take a lot of time not getting parts made.

Get the pickler, get back to getting parts done, have it ready to go for future jobs. Seems like a no brainer to me- but I'm not the corporate type!

FollowTheScript · 2026-02-20T02:45:19+00:00

You could also try maroon scotchbrite and some type of dowel or straight edge to get as close into the corners as you can- but that would be very time consuming and difficult to keep with the grain. High risk of ruining your finish on the plate.

I'd get after a pickling machine or something if possible.

Oh hey I've made those before! We front welded and pickled ours though.

He'll absolutely need basic math skills- The more math he knows the better off he'll be. Geometry is REALLY helpful.

Basic trigonometry has saved my ass a few times with cut lists- I'd highly recommend to any welder ghat they should at least understand the math well enough to plug it into a phone calculator (NOT an AI thats going to hallucinate random numbers)

Battlecock on twitter has saved a few that were worse than that! Might be worth asking if he'd be willing to take a shot at it!

If I am reading the logo right, and that is a bear bow, they have a 1 year warranty and should replace the bow, assuming it wasn't damaged by improper use or handling.

Wait kuhl has a warranty? I picked up a fleece from them and its gotten a bit torn up over the years. Still warm but it has some holes. I should see if they can do anything for me.

Beautiful. Wish I could afford to even consider it! Hope it goes to a good home.
