This is a scale model of turtle for a fountain project. The final product will be 7 feet long and made of bronze.

That looks great, my son would love the turtle! Cool Idea, will be fun out of Bronze.
I weld stainless, stainless and more stainless...Food Industry, sanitary process piping, vessels, whatever is needed, I like to make stuff.

That's going to be cool. Are you going to braze it together or do the pieces attach to a frame?

Brazing and the plan is for the pieces to have u shaped brackets inside so the parts appear to be floating.exnailpounder wrote:That's going to be cool. Are you going to braze it together or do the pieces attach to a frame?

Plain carbon. You could contact TIPTIG USA and ask if they are doing any demos etc in your area.LtBadd wrote:Very nice Markus, would like to give that TipTIG a try.

Hes using them as fishing bells. 2" Stainless pipe, turned on a lathe to .070T. The top is .020T. The thin top made it a little challenging to not blow through it.
Yup. that's exactly what they are for. A lot of guys here in Hawaii are shore casters. And set the bells on the poles so they can hear when a fish hits. Welded 2 of these and 2 rock spikes for a guy at work. Nice guy so I didn't even charge him. Free practice time for me I guess. I just enjoy melting metal, and helping the guys out.
Very Nice Sam!
@Markus nice to see your still around I was wondering where you've been!

Now, unless it get's hot, you need J.D.s colored epoxy fill in that... If it does get hot, maybe a glass/ceramic?GreinTime wrote:For all you non Instagrammers out there!

So, even filling it with SiBronze and buffing it off might not stay...GreinTime wrote:It's a turbo Downpipe, so it'll get pretty hot!Otto Nobedder wrote:Now, unless it get's hot, you need J.D.s colored epoxy fill in that...

Some lovely work showing up here lately guys.
You people have skills to be truly proud of.

Nothing particularly nice or even TIG but I wanted to post here to ask you guys: after learning, becoming comfortable with TIG and only doing that for a while, did anyone else find their MIG technique changed? I'm finding that on 1/8" and thinner sheet metal, I'm MIGing like TIG, in that I'm stacking hot tack welds. I find it lets me use a lot more heat without flooding in a pile of wire to keep from overheating the joint. Ends up giving me a nice flat bead profile with piles of penetration and low heatsoak. In the pic below, the two fresh pieces are joined with a few continuous runs but the rest is all this approach I described above.

Trying a different way of mitering for the first time.
3mm 6063 welded with 3/32 4043 filler and 125 amps torch switch only, 150 Hz and 35% EP
Little grainy but I just wiped off the Sharpie lines with acetone, no other cleaning.

Here it is done with styro-foam cladding
Will be used for noise supression of a pump.
