Let's see your welds...

[firemanmike69]

I was going to ask if they were AR. Question, shouldn't they be going the other way? With the curl of the bucket? Or are you expecting the dirt to fill the voids, and protect the bucket?

We don't have the ability to roll the curve in the AR at my shop so I figured exactly what you said that the dirt will fill the voids and act a the wear surface

Here is a lift for my Bi/Fold aircraft door. Good welders are in high demand in my part of the country.

Can't remember every adding wear strips to a bucket, but probably have. I have spent days hard facing clam buckets though. I always just did it the way the operator wanted it. Back in my drilling days, I seen more knock down fights over what angle to weld the teeth on! I'd just stand back until someone would hold it for me.:laughing:

Those are some big drills shield. I know exactly what your talking about some guys want dot hard facing some want "x's" some want circles some want grids and if you start welding the "wrong" pattern they yell and scream and question your mothers virtue

I'm an advanced beginner/beginning intermediate MIG welder of farm stuff that's in position. I have a Lincoln SP 170 and here is a typical weld of mine. The photo looks funny because it appears the weld stops prematurely but that is an optical illusion. The metal has an arced curved surface to it and I welded the flat surfaces and it looks right.

Here it is...

Heres a couple tig welds using the positioner.
