okay so this has been the topic of discussion for a while and i said i would post pics of some of the shit i do at work, so here you guys go.
I actually borrowed the company owners camera and they emailed the pics to me heh.
All welds were done in position and by procedure using Hobart Fabco XL-71 0.045 fluxcore wire.
2 pass uphand connecting a 1" plate to a 3/4" plate
2 pass uphand connecting a 2+1/8" SCH160 pipe to 1" plate
another 2 pass uphand connecting a 3/8" wall 8x6 square tubing to a 1/2" plate. also shows a circle i freehand cut with a torch (1+1/2" tip oxy acetalyne)
one of the 2+1/8" sch160 pipes welded over another weld, on the left you can see where i didn't chip the flux off the one weld. all are uphand 2 pass welds.
the blue helmet is my flip lid helmet, on the right is my auto darkening helmet, the pole sticking up out of the center of the deck is where my suitcase wirefeeder hangs from. in the background is a truck that is nearly complete.
another angle of the deck i'm working on right now, in the absolute foreground on the left is my ugly homemade tool (it's a tack bar, hammer, pry bar, and chisel all in one, and yes i know it's fucking ugly but it works!!! haha) behind that you see a bessey clamp, and the blue thing behind that is our 500 ton press/brake.
above the deck you can see 2 of the 3 winches that are going on my truck (the one in the background only has 1 winch, so as you can imagine my truck is a fuck of a lot bigger haha)
in this fuzzy ass pic you can see a winch tractor being stripped for its new bed which is being built on the side of the shop that is not shown in the pics. you can see my toolbox, my work bench, and one of the welders behind the truck.
hope you enjoyed the pics. i'll try to get more as we progress on to the more showy stuff like the tig welds on the toolboxes and shit.
i guess i'll open the floodgates to any questions or comments or if other fabricators want to post pics or tips they are welcome to as well.
