Metal Fabrication

You guys are making me wanna like...... Do stuff.


I always joked about having a pseudo shop but I already know I wouldn't use it for anything. I'd get it all set up and be all proud and then it would just sit there unused.

But ever since hike skool I've wanted to be able say "I can weld." and not just be bullshittin.

Maybe I should do some fuckin around.

welding is fucking easy

I should have made it an inch longer, but everything will fit for now.

Fuck you all.. I just learned to weld in a day..

will take pictures of my welds soon.. ( some where fucking garbage most where minty )

still learning voltages.. shit is complicated when switching between thicknesses of tube / plate etc.. Havn't blown though anything yet.. Just had some FAT welds where the voltages where not high enough for the tubes.

Also learned how to use a 40 TON press..

shit was mad scary.. the fucking dyes weight 300lbs each.

 

[whatever]

I kinda want to start making a grill. lets design one

I like that design. You thinking just making one for yourself or coming up with a unique, sellable design?

just for me.

Seems like a pretty simple project to just copy that one. Only thing you'll likely have to do different is the raise/lower wheels. Just replace with a lever and handle.

Maybe,

I google the images.. and it looks a lot closer ( but bigger ) to a 400 TONNE break press than a 40 TON.. :Shrug:

a 40 ton aint moving shit. a 400ton gets work done

Shit is big, probably 15ft tall, 20ft long?

Had to use lasers n shit to get it setup correctly.. took my 10 gauge steel and belt it like it was not even there.

Cut through 1/4" mild faster than my circular saw can cut though 1/2" ply. Totally cold too.

Now just throw that blade on an angle grinder for aluminium

 

[deegan]

Well, may need more teeth

 

[CPTMULLET]

Well, may need more teeth

the blade, or him when he starts chucking chunks of carbide into his face?

I use one for 50% of my day every day

but alas, A bloody American ruined using the blade on a power grinder and now we gotta use air grinders like plebs.
