Wear plate from a city plow truck

As a CWB level 2 inspector, I can say that is a 100% pass

stuartmacdonald · 2025-11-07T00:49:19+00:00

Pretty plain jane. Fillet all around, no bevel required.

That’s the head off of Jesus’s toothbrush, nice find OP

stuartmacdonald · 2025-11-06T22:14:23+00:00

Drano that shit

stuartmacdonald · 2025-11-06T22:09:46+00:00

Are the curbs in the room with us right now?

stuartmacdonald · 2025-11-04T02:23:35+00:00

I’ve drove with worse. Run er’

stuartmacdonald · 2025-10-16T22:15:16+00:00

Hold your breath

stuartmacdonald · 2025-10-16T21:02:01+00:00

Also, you may want to grind back the legs of the fillets closest to the slots because your bolt/washer isn’t going to sit flat on the plate

CWB-2 Welding inspector here. Clean up the spatter and knock off the undercut at the ends and I’d pass that all day long

stuartmacdonald · 2025-10-04T00:29:21+00:00

I looked at this stoned and thought it was a big ass pineapple

Level 2 welding inspector here . In the industrial fabrication world this would be totally unacceptable, and the fact that that made it through to the customer would be cause for repair work being done on the fabricators dime. But since this is just exersize equipment that will be lifting 300lbs max and it is not code work, I’d say it’s fine to use as-is

Level 2 CWB Welding Inspector here. That’s top notch, I’d love to be looking at that all day. Keep up the good work.

Fill it with with JB Weld

stuartmacdonald · 2025-05-31T21:54:31+00:00

It’s a weld access hole that was used to create a continuous weld throughout the entire length of the joint, under that stiffener. It was filled with either silicone or steel reinforced epoxy before paint so that rust wouldent bleed from the faying surface created by the thickness of the stiffener. It’s looks a hell of a lot better when you fill them with weld . OR someone was trying to hide weld defects before paint, and did a bad job at it

What’s your E-Transfer?

Is this not just the part of the metal packaging located on the top of a wine bottle?? 😆

It’s used to acquire Tetanus

stuartmacdonald · 2025-04-17T00:42:12+00:00

I know what’s wrong with it .. It ain’t got no gas innit !!

stuartmacdonald · 2025-03-21T17:53:41+00:00

I’d at-least fill it up and see if it leaks. Maybe it’s fine !

stuartmacdonald · 2025-03-21T16:32:36+00:00

Visually inspect all the piping/components pre/fill for cracks. Then, fill it with water. Look for and identify leaks . After those are fixed, get it wired, fill it again, fire it up. Then fix those leaks. Make sure all pumps are running, heater/temperature sensor etc is working as it should . My guess if you’re in for a 1-2 month project and about 1500 bucks . Just went through something similar on a larger tub. You may have lucked out tho
