Tig 102

[Sieg]

A couple of my latest practice projects.......







The good and the really ugly on the right due to contamination from trying to retain the rustic nature of the metal.....I ground another 1/8" clearance before doing the left bead.



The fun one.......



Insert 5" of cannon fuse, 1 tablespoon fg black powder, one piece of damp paper towel, then pack the remainder with damp beach sand and stand back.

I'd actually buy the photo frame if I saw it in an art gallery.


Just one question…. how do you get a photo and some glass in there??



DOH!

Thanks.

You're Soooo Old School!

I use small neodymium magnets for these frames or a 4x6 picture will simply rest in place. Frame is sloped at 15* and it weighs about 7-8 lbs.

Nice work Sieg.

Looks like it will take more than a 100 ft of welding to
even get close to welding like you guys.. I did a bunch of arc and gas
welding years back.. been thinking about getting a tig
and start to learn again.. just too many other projects
going on

Is that why they call him Greg "Weld"

The frames would be great for awards etc
Are you marketing them?? you can charge Greg
$850 each since he spends everyone elses money

Not marketing them, considering it on a very small scale. I'm going to be making a couple more designs this week. I agree, as specialized or personalized trophies they'd be pretty cool to receive.........IMO.

Let me know what you're thinking.

What tig machine are you guys using? Anybody with a Diversion 180?

[Sieg]

I'm using an HTP Invertig 221H. 200 amp inverter, air cooled.

My friends have names for me - none of which actually use the name my Mother gave me…


Ever hear of WELD Racing? Good - 'cause that's not me!
