Hello from Alberta, Canada

admin

Hi!I love fabricating and welding, and when I came across this forum I thought it would be a great place to gain more knowledge in the field, and share some of my experiences and knowledge with others as well.  I am currently building a 1927 Essex two door sedan from the ground up.  It has been an extremely fun project so far, and I'm always looking for new and exciting fabricating & welding projects to take on.  Here's a few pictures of some of my projects over the past year.  I'm always welcome to positive and constructive feedback I hope I have posted pictures correctly for this forum... advise me if I am wrongMy '27 Essex ProjectEarly mock up w/ the bodyAn engine run/test stand I built to run and set up the motor that I will be using in my project before I drop it in.  I plan on switching the intake, and carbs, so this will allow me to get her running smoothly before dropping it in.And a work/welding table I builtAnd finally a hitch mounted dirt bike carrier that I made a few years back.  Worked like a charm, but sold the bike, so sold the carrier haha, but fun to build non the less.  I have attached the photos of the dirt bike carrier in the post below. Like I said, I look forward to being a member of this forum, and can't wait to get started on my next project!Cheers,Jon

Reply:Great project. I love the engine stand.   I bet those air bags will give you a pretty balanced ride.    Very nice building  you are working in.  Neat way to seal the inside of the building to protect the insulation and give a clean protected inside wall.  Keep the post up and most of all ........ welcome to the forum.
