Who gave a chimp a welding rod lead!!! I have some old 7018 you could knock flux off to fill in those gaps… JK looks good, better hurry summer coming!! A brother and I do some welding projects together. For about 18 months we knew of two that were coming. Yup, sure enough one got going in June and the next one was in August last year. We have lots of policies, and we came up with one more last August. It's real simple, "WE AINT DOIN IT!" That pertains to June, July, and August. We will give everyone 9 months out of 12. But not those 3.

Prob needs more weld than that on it Was doing the verticals yesterday afternoon. Ran smooth out of MIG wire. So, this morning it's a hard stop and go get some MIG wire. And the closest welding supply shop is in Greenville.

Prob needs more weld than that on it It's good. Why spend all time burning rods when a few tacks will hold it just fine. I mean it's not like your life depends on it.

Welded, flipped over in the shop and welded the other side. Out the shop they go. I shot in elevation on every weld plate. All the columns were cut specifically for each weld plate, and ground clean. Got two scissor lifts to go borrow from buddies. And another bud that is working out some time in his schedule to come help me. So, it'll be the two of us, two scissor lifts, and two welding rigs. It should get completely framed in one day.

You gotta get a little creative when you're standing and leveling columns by yourself. 5/32" E-6011, drag weld 5/32" E-7018, drag weld cover, on the four roof columns. About 5 hours, I got them all up, leveled and completely welded. Not too shabby, by myself. The pipe is a 3/8" wall. So the roof columns weigh 150 pounds each.

Better hurry, it’s gonna start raining. No way do I check the forecast at least three times a day. You're the first one that thought of it. I hate condescension. So I never put it on anyone else.

Thank you sir. I've said for many years, with steady hands you can be a surgeon or a welder. I do the one that doesn't pay the most.

Lots and lots of cutting done, and more to go. Hand rail also as a sheer wall.

I made the next to last section of lattice yesterday. Going to be making the last section today, and installing them. Fabricating and welding on Father's Day is fine with me. I still love doing it.
