I Have Welded Some Strange Things But This Is A First....

admin

Pics tell all..I did not have anything small enough to hold the parts so I dug up a old air inlet fitting and used that.Once tacked it's all  positioner now..At least there are a couple of "Normal" sized rollers to make tomorrow..I get all the fun jobs.....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
Reply:That reminds me of when I made my own hanger bolt that needed a standard lag screw on one side and a metric threaded machine screw on the other.I also brazed together a 1/4" hose barb on one side to a 3/8" hose barb on the other, to replace a weird cracking hose on my Wrangler.Sometimes you just need these weird parts.

Reply:That reminds me of something I did late in the previous century when I worked at a tourist trap that had boardwalks throughout a rocky river gorge.  While there I brazed a US quarter to the head of a 20D spike, GW face up, pounded it through the deck in front of a resting bench, then crawled under the deck and bent the spike over 90° to secure it.It was there for years.  There was a steady flow of broken pocket knife blades appearing in the nearby trash bucket.  Member, AWSLincoln ProMIG 140Lincoln AC TombstoneCraftsman Lathe 12 x 24 c1935Atlas MFC Horizontal MillCraftsman Commercial Lathe 12 x 36 c1970- - - I'll just keep on keepin' on.

Reply:I wonder if you could have put the nail in a drill press chuck and spun it real hard into the screw? and let it stop.I'm sure that's a difficult to "nail down" process.

Reply:Originally Posted by rlitmanOh man.  You're making me wish I had a wooden deck.  Now I'm thinking about how I would secure it to a brick walkway.  You suck.  As if I didn't have enough projects already.

Reply:The Friction Stir Welding (FSR) process would not be feasible for this application. Trying to do this utilizing the FSR process would be a shot in the dark at best even if you have the machinery to mimick the process. With this one you want to use a process that is going to achieve a sure result because you only have one piece.... don't phuck it up! jrw159
