i just bought a new welder and im looking for some inspiration to start making some stuff-- i am currently working on my vw and the focus but getting this new welder will make things alot more easy- i got a lincoln 135 plus mig and am looking forward to fabbing up some stuff- ill post some pics of the stuff im currently working on

humm ive done alot, i dont really have anythingn to show.... i suppose i could take pics of my class work. We did make a go-kart, and a "chopper" bike

I used to weld/fab containers and hoists for Galfab (http://www.galfab.com/) before I enlisted...does that count? Protip- click the link to see examples.

1. That is badass!
2. Nice work, that looks great

the story i hear is that it is from a renault 16v turbo and it was a good functioning turbo and held boost quite well. forget how much the turbo/turd costs, how much $ for the shipping on the thing- it must weight a ton-

I am pretty sure that manifold and turbo came off a car that burnt up.

holy heck! i can weld better than that!

good work volcomestone, that is impressive. i think you could do headers easily. i know the SPI guys would pay for em.

that exo skeleton is nice

Nobody here welds or fabricates?

sweet

Ive done almost every style of welding. Hardest to me is tig aluminum. I thought i was perfect at tig stainless steel and mild steel. Welds were beautiful and penetration was perfect. Then my work hired this cocky ass kid thats a few years younger then me who builds custom bikes on the side, and anything you can put on them. Im talking the $65 to $100k ones. He introduced me to "color". My "perfect" welds went from just blue, to looking like a rainbow. Its almost like the colors of chrome exhaust pipes after theyve got some use to them. Im amazed what ive learned to do. Like how the proper ways to cool them down has a huge effect on color, to being able to weld flex pipe thats a tad thicker then a pop can. Did you know that theres some people who can weld magnesium? If i get time at work tomorrow, i'll play around a bit and show off my mad skills.

i weld for a career. if you see a hemmt roll toruogh your town. (or on tv in iraq) i had a hand in welding that. i wish i could show off my work but the govt. says no.

Nice exo![driving]

I don't have any pics but I should be taking some here in the near future as my Ranger and XJ will be getting some lovin.

I plan on fabbing a custom hood this summer with the help of my neighbor who knows how to weld.

Somedays my welds look PERFECT.... other days it look like someone took a metallic shit on a pipe.

lol.............that was a funny analogy!

Hey FocusAddiction... that piece looks familiar. It's and IHI RHB5 housing correct? I have the same one. Your welding skills are far more superior than mine. Although I have a $100 Mig welder w/ flux core

come on i know more people have some welding pics and stuff

ummmm
look at the boston skyline. i have welded a few things there.
my dad was an ironworker and i am signed up so i have had some practice, lol
