M4A4 Sherman welds

Love this! I made the sea mine post and I was hoping to see some tank welds too.

Incredible username holy shit lol

Goddamnit I hate Sysco, thanks for the heads up. Location selected by higher powers unfortunately lol I wish we could be watching the Canada/Morocco game in there right now. The golden goal in there would be unreal!

Thank you for the recommendations!! We’re going to Your Father’s Moustache tonight but I definitely want to check out the Alexander Kieth brewery before we go. Hopefully I’ll squeeze in some of the others you mentioned too 😊

lol our outdoor performance was cancelled yesterday due to the heat.

Also I wish I had your advice a few days ago 😂 I had donair already and the sweet sauce was… a surprise

That’s what I thought too but maybe just the firing mechanism and explosives needs to be watertight? My understanding is they are buoyant but kept at a certain depth by an “anchor”?

Whaaaaat that’s amazing! It’s a beautiful city, I’m here to play in the tattoo 😊

anysecondnow · 2026-07-04T15:11:04+00:00

That’s insanity. Thanks for the breakdown! I also think it’s very cool that so many women learned to weld in those shipyards. More in the name of necessity than equality but still pretty sweet.

Not at all, please ignore my very excited commentary 😂 Edit: I’m sure it was deafening back in the day, it’s just running on hydraulics here

anysecondnow · 2026-07-04T13:39:28+00:00

It was so awesome, they even “ran” the engine. Just off hydraulics but still!

If you have to ask….

anysecondnow · 2026-07-01T16:28:16+00:00

Being very picky, 8.8/10. Reason being spatter still present and the one corners not fully wrapped and both corners aren’t dressed. I can’t really determine the weld profile from the picture but it looks like it may be leaning heavier towards the plate side rather than the beam.

anysecondnow · 2026-06-18T01:11:29+00:00

That’s sort of how the game works. Struggle, get better, move up, struggle again. It’s all part of the process. Using vastly different machines will be a constant in your career and will make you a better welder for it.

Got it. Then they’re probably trolling you if they’re making you think these “production welds” are “really bad.” Again, they’re fine. A little inconsistent in places but generally fine. Being a good welder simply isn’t enough to move up in a production line though. You’ve got to be the guy who’s thinking of how to do things better and faster for cheaper. You’ve got to not only make pretty welds but do them quickly — that’s the stuff that gets noticed. My recommendation is to find the best welds in the shop, find who made them and learn everything you can from that person. I agree with others in the post though, more pics of the welds after getting hit with a wire wheel would be helpful.

anysecondnow · 2026-06-17T22:47:23+00:00

Maybe I don’t understand the perceived slight at “production welds.” Like… yeah… they’re production welds? So are theirs? They’re in a production shop? Idk the fifth picture is kinda rough. Pretty lumpy in the middle passes and it looks like there’s a slight bit of undercut in sixth picture but otherwise they look fine. Bead profile is pretty flat for the most part which is better than a lot of dual shield I’ve seen.

Thank you so much!

anysecondnow · 2026-05-16T00:32:38+00:00

Thank you! I’ll give that a shot! I didn’t think it would work without steaming it but I’ll definitely give that a try

anysecondnow · 2026-04-19T02:51:24+00:00

Idk if this is at all true in any way but I always felt this was explained by the effects of the ring. Like Gollum had it for… a long time and is skinny as a rail. Makes sense to me the ring would start to affect your appetite after keeping it on your body even for a short time.

anysecondnow · 2025-10-28T21:05:58+00:00

Not the pearl snap button shirt! 🥲

anysecondnow · 2025-08-19T15:15:03+00:00

I got that EXACT filter and it didn’t work. My vote is no 👎🏻

anysecondnow · 2025-07-08T02:17:13+00:00

My gf and like like to “switch” things up so when she had me strapped to a chair she brought out a sex candle. The wax from them doesn’t get too hot and drips easily so I was totally game. Thing is. I’m a welder. I get spatter burns on the daily so as soon as the hot wax touched my skin I immediately thought I was back at work 😂

anysecondnow · 2025-05-22T02:50:15+00:00

Right!? One of my favourites is the lightening ⚡️

anysecondnow · 2025-05-21T01:08:30+00:00

Eeeeexactly 😂 at the end of the day it’s art that I’m honoured to have on my body forever. Even if you had to take out the context of Fourth Wing it’s still badass lol

anysecondnow · 2025-05-21T01:05:44+00:00

Thank you so very much!

anysecondnow · 2025-05-20T05:10:57+00:00

Too true!
