I've bought tubing and collectors, I'm going to buy that guide when I'm ready to fab my turbo headers

Just a repair on a small piece of our liquid filling equipment, 316L small double bevel, .035" filler...

Just working on some 4" oval exhaust for a drift car. Tons of stainless practice.

Looks great.

Geeeze that must have cost a bomb to make in wages!

It's really not as time consuming as you would think. There was allot of weld time and back purging involved but as for cutting, I have a good bandsaw which has cut my time at least in half. I can setup a cut, while it is cutting I debut and tack the previous piece.

Always nice seeing quality work.

Got it all welded up today. Pretty happy with where my welds are at but I could still use some more practice. Also, my back purge could have used a bit more flow.

On a side note, anyone know how to rotate pictures? Every time I upload from my phone they are sideways

I have the same problem. I'd like to read the answer to that one as well. I even tryed to rotate it before I downloaded it but didn't help.

Turn the phone 90* to take the picture?

Tried that too sometimes it works sometimes not. Just thought though I haven't tried cropping it first.

If you are using photobucket ,I believe that there is a flip in the edit part of it.

Little repair job 304L...not fun when you find someone did a previous repair with silver solider instead of welding... Makes damn mess.

Whipped up a bracket for a printer cleaning station for one of our lines...actually made 4 custom brackets depending on where they were mounting.

Nice work as always Rick, BTW did you bow the screens in the gas lens yourself?

No that is how they are run on the Furick FUPA 12 set-up...

I use the same cup! I absolutely love my FUPA cups. Really hard to beat them.

Today, I did the first "paying job" for our new company. It's simple stuff, but was urgent and I got paid well to do it on Saturday. For simplicity, I put it on my facebook wall.

Member or no, it should let you see the pictures, as I have no privacy settings on it. At least it "used" to work that way.

I suppose I could put it in dropbox or on the cloud...

[edit] Screw it. I'll upload a few directly.

Not sure how I uploaded that one, since I hit "reply" before I opened the file..
Here's the new bracket that replaced the previous turd.
