Welding adventure

[pauldeepsea]

Super excited I get to help someone with a part time welding job. I am doing this for free and it gives me time under the hood to get some more experience. I won’t say what or who it’s with but I am really excited for the opportunity of getting some time under the hood Sunday

Plus I’ll teach you the are of brazing brass and adding tungsten carbide to hard surface. We take the broken tungsten carbide cutters from our machine shop and put them in 1/4” x 12” corn bread black iron skillet molds them pour melted brass in. Once this cools and hardens they pop out. When we hard surface out under reamer blades and follow up reamer blades we braze the sticks on using brass flux rods. Very hot work. Only thing that will hold up on drilling tools. Very few people know the art. I was taught by a old black man when I was 18.

I wish I had allot more time to really work on it. Working full time and doing two classes each semester really eats up allot of time. And eventually I will have some of my parts back for the ridgeback build. Just not enough time in a day.

One of my classes is design and layout for fabrication I am three weeks into the semester but really enjoying it. One of the instructors owns a shop and he explained that he has no issues with finding welders but he really is looking for people who can design and layout. I have three more classes and I will be finished with the degree. Then I need to figure out what I am going to do with it after I retire.

Once I transfer from California and hopefully to Florida. I plan on building my own workshop and getting machines to use for welding , bending etc.

Right now I just need more time under the hood perfecting the welds. Tig was by far the hardest to perfect I did okay in the horizontal and vertical position but overhead not so good.

I did all that one of the best times of my life back when I was younger.

Well after welding from about 10 am this morning until 5. Today was good but the projects I am working on were far more difficult than anything I have welded in the classroom. I have a some work to do to get it to my expectations. It’s frustrating at times I expect and want to be perfect and it will come with time. I could see as the day progressed the welds were looking better. Going back next weekend to continue and the guys I am working with are awesome at helping the process along

Sounds great. Never know when that will come in handy. Once you learn it it's yours forever.
