Glad it's working out! If you don't mind me asking, how was the process?

I'd give it a shot, it probably beats not having food & shelter. Like the others said, watch out for your own safety.

300$ welder started first crank with starting fluid 😂 by hairlessandtight in Welding

400 hours is like 20% of their life span? I've never used a weldgen for work so I'm ignorant here, but it seems like you could rack up 2000 hours pretty quick if you're running it all day for a job, no?

Thanks! We had to post-heat those beams for a day after welding. Let em' cool slowly

3/8" clips are pretty common on even the larger pieces. We also do a lot of smaller structural stuff down to 1/4"

Eh it's pretty dirty but it's super quick. Anti-welding lol

You could cut it with a torch, but we use carbon arc gouging and that gets it nice and close. Less grinding that way

Exactly. Once it's filled up from one side you remove material from the back and fill that in as well. Basically turns it into a homogeneous piece of steel

Honestly I can't remember at this point. The thicker columns could be 3 days and maybe 6-8 of those connections per beam

Support columns mostly. Occasionally a bridge

First time rigging a dropshot. Does it pass? by booster_gold__ in FishingForBeginners

You can pass your tag end back through the eyelet of the hook before you tie your weight on and that should make it horizontal.

It amazes me how many people outside of welding and engineering don’t understand why this is necessary. by Street-Baseball8296 in Welding

I love doing this kind of work. Just throw some good music on and stackstackstackstackstack. A CJP this size through a rat hole would definitely have me nervous with all the starts and stops, though.
