Chip box build ?

[flushcut]

That's about as sexy as it gets.

 

[sotc]

No doubt, that is beautyful!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I figured ya'll would like that.

 

[Grendel]

wow

 

[cory]

That! is definitely welding porn!

 

[Husabud]

Technically, isn't that Brazing?

 

[Dave Shepard]

Tig welding. There is a guy on welding tips and tricks that does something like that on high rise intake manifolds in aluminum.

That! is definitely welding porn!

Quit showing off your puter skills...

I have the roof and sides all done now just working on the tailgate. The snow right now is really effing with progress.

Here's the tail gate on my truck. I definitely prefer it over the single door. Fat ass hinges too

 

[rskybiz]

Looks plenty stout! The swing latch is that rated and if so to what extent?

 

[Page]

Not sure what it's rated at but it holds well with a load of logs against it. It used to be like a dump truck gate flipping up and down but the guy before me made it into the barn door style. Being able to open it with the chipper on is great.

I need to build a gravel tailgate for my k boom, my thousand foot driveway can be a pain to rock without a spreader gate

 

[flushcut]

Nice use of existing materials.

 

[flushcut]

Some more progress



Getting closer. I need to finish a little bit of framing, sheeting, bracing, latch, and paint. Also I saved the brackets that the old tailgate attached to so I can have pin on ramps for the mini later down the road.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice. I need to take a picture of my doors for you rajan. Pins instead of bolts on the hinges makes for easy door removal.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Nice looking welds Rajan.

Flux core is much harder to make nice looking welds than using bare wire and gas.

I watch the hell outta welding tips and tricks too. I get the weekly video.

Gonna buy me a TIG welder pretty soon.

Cody, I bought a 180 Dual Lincoln. Nice and small, runs gas and flux core, dual voltage. After rebate it was 800 bucks new in Great Falls. I really wanted a 256 PowerMig, but what I really needed was a handy wire feed that I could take to the field and take into a combine with me. I built a long extension cord that I can plug into my 300 amp Lincoln on my truck.

If I was going to do it again, I would buy the PowerMig 210 MP. Even lighter, a bit more powerful, runs mig, stick, and scratch start TIG. I think you can get one for a cool thousand. Not an aluminum machine on TIG, but will run a spool gun.

 

[sotc]

Lookin good

Thanks guys!

Jim flux core is a much slower process even tho I am running .035 wire only half of that is weld metal so you need to watch the puddle closely and hold you toes a bit longer that gas/wire, but the penetration with flux core is much higher. The same settings with gas/wire will easily melt thru with flux core.
