"Can you pleezze fix this??"

admin

Todays fun..Log splitter control valve leverseems to be in two pieces...After much grinding ..cleaning...cleaning..cleaning.. (i had to wire brush and re-clean it after every tack..and weld was put down.. REALLY crappy casting)   here it is tacked..here it is fixed..(1.5 hrs)from the top..from the side..note the gas lenz and 1/16 tungestion..(100 amps)Castings can be a challenge..this is the first casting that "burned blue"..you had to see it as i was welding it to understand i guess..i did all the finish "grinding" with a die grinder..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:Hey zap, in that amount of time you could have -almost- milled out a brandy-new one on your Bridgeport!Hmmmm, 1.5 man-hours x labor + overhead = ~$200 to fix it.the satisfaction knowing that you could and DID fix it = pricelessThe blue burning was maybe hydraulic oil in the casting pores?What filler alloy did you use?btw, good job (again).

Reply:Zap I've come to the conclusion that there's nothing in this world you won't tackle. Seems the tough jobs are attracted to you. Nice bit of work there my friend.
