Ok this one was not today but I wanted to share it. This was at a nuclear plant on the turbine deck (so no radiation that's why I had my phone)

Welded this today.

This will have a big tower mounted on top like the last one I built. They wanted it to hinge on 2 small brackets, but there's no way it old hold plus the brackets were way off so I built a doubler and gussets.

This will be really cool when it's done I'll show you guys later hopefully.

Keep forgetting to post my experiences with SolarFlux. This stuff is gold if backpurging stainless isn't reasonable or practical. I use it with ISO alcohol, works GREAT!!!

Did you butter up the two halves before or after you tacked them up?
I have more questions than answers

After, I tried to keep the tacks shallow. I didn't clean it all up since it's just an exhaust pipe but I wiped off an area with acetone and it's nice and shiny metal underneath.

Cool! I was wondering if it would interfere with the weld process if it was worked down into a crack. I'm envisioning that you might be able to coat the two sides before you tack up. If there was no way to get at the joint after fit up.

Open your pic in "Paint", save it in correct orientation and reload. Default windows viewers often load sideways, didn't used to but hey MS has to justify an upgrade somehow!

What is that? A hand powered hydraulic coal scorp?
Stone knives and bearskins.....and a NEW EVERLAST 164SI !!!
That's my newly shared work welder.
At home I got a Power Tig 185 DV. Nice, but no plasma cutting... Nice tight arc after a second.
