That's the thing man, that's not special that's just the job, and tree work gives me a chance to do my own thing that's different from my fitter job so I'm not as susceptible during downswings in the sector and gives me more control and autonomy with my income and work requirements. My training...

I guess I'm not following, how she had to fix others work? Yeah if she's gotta fix stuff I'm sure they've been held accountable, and some of that she's showing is par for the course anyways. I worked salvage where i did exactly that, fixing others mistakes, it's production work so it's expected...

Robots are like any labor saving device, by that logic we would still be cutting trees with axes and handsaws. In time humans will likely not be needed at all for labor, especially once computers surpass human intelligence. But not all jobs are created equal, and to program one to replace...

I bet that works pretty well! I'm sure there is, likely track units so you have guys running them to make sure they're going good, and most of those are likely sub arc units. But there's a ton of hand welding too, just pretty much the nature of big things. There's a big enough tolerance where...

A bunch, all fluxcore. Huffing smoke in confined spaces.

Shipbuilding looks miserable

Yeah that would drive me nuts, but well done.

If you notice when you flip the lever the dies either open or close. Adjust to size if it's not there. Fill the thing with cutting oil, when the die is down it should rain on the pipe, completely covering the thread cutting, you need a ton of oil. Cut your threads, go one thread past the end of...

Whats your question?

That sucks man.

Any pics? Maybe chisel off the insulation and see what you got? Get some more plate and replace whole sides?

6010, 6011. Use it, learn it, watch yourself succeed. 7018 for high strength stuff, after the cellulose rods it'll be child's play, still use them for the first pass tho. I would only use 6013 if the apocalypse happened and i had already used all the other rods on earth :lol: It does work fine...

Thus far, that's the nice thing about welding, just grind it off and do it again.

It can't be repaired?

Good deal, thx sir, that makes me feel better about it all. I was wondering on that since most hitches don't have any cross bracing or side to side stiffening at all, and even change elevation so there's even more of a twisting load on the single side plates. With that in mind i will likely will...

@Burnham was it the hitch on the truck that broke or the winch mounting part? I'm not doubting you I'm just trying to understand the failure mode because I've used a hitch mounting for both my chipper crane and log trailer crane, and if it's a crap design i need to fix that. The chipper crane is...

Or just build one from pipe or channel, you build stuff more complicated than that Dave, I've seen it! I would consider adding a receiver tube to it, and then have a winch mounted on a hitch so you could pull it when you wanted. Then you can also move trailers around super easy too. Or...

I would get Lincoln or esab rods, i hadn't even considered the fact that other brands of rod even existed :lol: They showed up with some junk brand 7018 at work once, i tried some messing around welding hangers one day and could barely get it to work at all. You can get by just fine with a...

Both the straight and the little 90' die grinders are handy, i even have a cheap harbor freight electric straight one i use on the welding rig, handy for cleaning up torched holes sometimes. The carbide bits are not cheap, and you gotta make sure they don't pull out because it's like a bullet...

You gotta remember welding is only a small portion of the trade, i happen to do a bunch of it but that's a small fraction of the work. I basically really got into rigging too, and before long you start branching out into how other trades rig stuff and then i found tree work. When you are doing...
