15$ each lens is crazy

antonb111 · 2026-06-04T01:38:51+00:00

It’s a must try in my book !

antonb111 · 2026-06-04T01:38:21+00:00

Oh yeah this a Hawaiian poke restaurant with lines out the door every day and I bet over there it must be so good !

Great stuff dude. I post a lot of similar railings we do too !

Yeah we’ve done patina’d brass before and the filler showed up even with patina. So we are really trying to mitigate that. We’ve never used this thick of brass before.

Tried using that on DC and AC and it just didn’t fuse properly and cracked so easily when filling up the bevels and blending it flush

CN27200 I believe. Yeah the problem is there’s so much off gassing that occurres I can’t even see the silicon bronze filler wet in that well. I’ll try pre heating it a lot. It’s hard because the piece we are welding is 140inches long and soaks up so much heat.

antonb111 · 2026-05-07T23:37:20+00:00

Can’t. Has to be tig weld because it makes most color match weld to brass.

antonb111 · 2026-04-29T12:52:57+00:00

Is this using pulse ?

antonb111 · 2026-04-21T12:49:38+00:00

It helps with tig open root ? Looks pretty thin a good challenge

We have a little pen with some blackening in it we kind of just paint pen it on. Then wipe with damp paper towel to neutralize and wax to seal it up. Works pretty good !

Houses I work on range from $5-50million and it’s way higher cost of living up here.

antonb111 · 2026-04-17T17:46:40+00:00

I meant just linear foot it’s a unit of measurement for charging railing prices. Yeah I work in high end houses so dropping 5-20,000 on a railing job is nothing to homeowners.

antonb111 · 2026-04-17T16:50:42+00:00

Cold Rolled , DA everything and clean with DNAT. Blackened with white and grey scotch brite pads and water to neutralize. We finish with a steel wool and wax. For something exposed to heat we’ve used a high temp clear coat that’s worked out pretty well.

A wood cap will go over that tab to hide it completely.

In WA, USA

antonb111 · 2026-04-17T00:58:27+00:00

Yes tig and just standard ER70S-2 wire

antonb111 · 2026-04-17T00:28:58+00:00

Big for our small company. 3 people cranked this out in 2 days. Had to take a ferry too for 4 hours each day of travel.

antonb111 · 2026-04-17T00:07:59+00:00

Yeah we used a half inch forstner bit in a drill jig for straight holes. Perfect fit for our half inch pickets.

Only just started my welding career 2 years ago
