A little weding and fabrication job.

4shorts,

That looks like a SITREX tedder/rake.
A cool little item, that may or may not work so well.

Could be. I'm not a farmer and half the things that show up in the shop I don't even know what there for That being said the old guy called today and asked if I could do the other one for him so he must have been happy

:laughing: Thanks Jay. I know it's not much of a job to report on but it's something to post. Saturday I'll be heading out with the mobile unit to a farm so I'll post some pics of the trip.

Here's some more of today's work.

Well I know you are tallented but in the first picture where on earth do you get lighter than air steel. Or have you just fired up your levetating skills.....:laughing::laughing:

Yesterday was my steel cutting day. We have a small grape vineyard and at the end of each row I have 1 5/8 inch sch 40 pipe about 7 feel long to secure the ends of the rows. We string four smooth fence wire lines as a trellis for the grapes to follow. Anyway I had to cut up 12 of them and today I get to grind the ends and weld on dome caps. Then I weld on these neat little clips we use down here for fencing and attach a compression spring to the top one. Then all I have to do is auger the twelve holes and cement them in.

Also cut up the steel box pipe for the auger stand I'm building. I"ll take pictures of it today and post. Plus I cut up the steel for the bale sweep that is another project. This thing picks up square bales and mounts to the front end loader quick connect mount.

So as a reward for all that last night some friends came over and we had a fiest of giant King Crab legs........Plenty good:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Glenn I've been working on a levitating unit for awhile now. I only intend to use it for one purpose and that's on the mother in law. It just needs to work in one direction and that can be either way up or way way down. either one would be perfect :laughing:

your going to have to post pics of that project you did. I'm sure we all would enjoy seeing them.Crab legs. Man that's one of our largest fisheries here. you get over here and i'll get you out in a crab boat. I get crab given to me by the box and so fresh there still moving. i love the stuff :licking:

Took the day to move my bikes that I've restored outside to get some new photo's so to keep the Boredom going here I'll post a sample of them. what do this have to do with welding you ask. I happened to had to do a little welding while I was restoring them :laughing:

I'm on much smaller scale. This was a stage I went through. I got all caught up in bike restorations but snapped out of it when I hit bike #10.

Now that I've had a little break I have a few "new" projects in mind. 

Thanks for the link.

That is an impressive shop and impressive work. I didn't have time (yet) to look through all 890 Flickr pictures, but, with all due respect, I looked at enough to be convinced that you have a second shop you aren't telling us about.

First, your show shop is much too clean. There is no trash on the floor and no piles of half (or less) finished projects (or in my case projects that just didn't work like I hoped).

Second, the grinder is not visible. I know you are good, but there is no way you could have cut that smooth round circle to fix the hay rake with the plasma torch, even with the circle cutter. You must have ground it afterwards. I'll bet there is a 10" pedestal grinder in the other shop.

Third, where are your workbenches with two or three layers of cut off steel, grinding dust, old bolts, broken coffee cups, and of course all the taps you could not find when you needed them.

Fourth, there is no paint overspray on anything. I understand it gets cold where you are, so I know you have to use the rattlecans inside. None of your machine guages have paint spots on the dials.

Please, show us the other shop; otherwise I (and many other viewers) will develop a permanent inferiority complex.
