A handful of videos, pictures...tig stuff.

admin

I've been on a long medical leave this summer.  ECU tendon somehow got jacked up in each arm, so I haven't welded since June and I'm out until December. But before I went out Miller visited me in Detroit.  I was pretty nervous, but we had a blast and I think the videos turned out really slick.This clip is just kind of a primer about a bike my friend Keith and I are building together. Not much action, but if you're curious about the build, this is the goal.(now delayed due to my surgeries, but still gonna happen)Here's the first project we recorded. I'd never built an oil tank for a bike before, but I'm pretty stoked with how it turned out. Some pretty neat welding shots in the vid too.   Here's the gas tank.  Kind of a quick clip. I didn't really get too much into technique or specific concerns, but I did want to explain maybe why you'd want to tig braze something instead of weld it.  In retrospect I wish I woulda gone more in depth, but this filming thing was a pretty new experience for me Panic Attack gas tank by Brown Dog Welding, on FlickrThere are a bunch of pics of the tank build process here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/browndo...7633736403671/Here's an interview they did with me about my background. Miller also put up a nice written post on their site with some additional content: http://www.millerwelds.com/resources...brown-dog-weld And I did kind of a "step by step" on how I make a belt buckle. Sucker Punch belt buckle by Brown Dog Welding, on FlickrThere are a couple other clips that'll be up on their Owner's Club site...one is up now, another might be down the road.Anyways, hope you guys dig it.   I've been a Miller guy since I struck my first arc, so this is kind of a dream come true for me!Also....I gotta post this up. weldermike sent me an email telling me so....This is how you walk the cup, right?"Walking the Cup" Tig welding sculpture by Brown Dog Welding, on Flickrbrowndogwelding.com@welderassassinMy Blog on The Fabricatorfacebook.com/BrownDogWelding

Reply:BrownDog, I've enjoyed seeing some of your work on other boards, including H.A.M.B.  Sorry to hear about your ECU problem -- I'm guessing it's welding related, right?  I hope your doctors and therapists get you back to normal activity again. Any anticipated limitations on welding?

Reply:I love just looking at pictures of your stuff, you truly have a talent. It gives the rest of us something to aspire to. But it kills me when you say that your hands aren't that steady and your eyesight isn't that great, because it just confirms how bad I suck lol. Good luck healing up, it'd be awesome if you shared stuff on here more oftenGive me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire.

Reply:Yeah Josh, 10/4, show your face more often brother. I heard you had to have arm surgeries and the first thing I thought was a bike accident. So I was very happy to hear that it was a older issue. I don't go on facebook at all, but my girlfriend keeps me updated on your posts. Hope you can jump back into welding again shortly, I wanna see the PanicAttack get finished soon. If you lay up any longer I may come out and finish it for ya and could probably break the motor twice by the time you get back into it.  Only kidding! I love triumphs as much as Harleys, and I still have my 1970. Feel better soon bud. I hate being bi-polar it's awsomeMy Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
