Fixing hole in side of block

[D2Cat]

My father-in-law and his brothers owned a machine shop, and when I was a pup he would give advise on stick welding. I watched and I listened, but it wasn't until I actually tried to burn a rod did I realize how much knowledge and skill I would need to develop to mold two pieces of steel together.

At the beginning, when I would get done trying to glue something together his comment was, "Looks like bird shit"!

I never had a camera in those days so I am not sure how any pictures of my work would have gotten out, much less posted on OTT.

I've done a lot of gas welding and brazing and from what I see the flame he's using the mixture is way off.
Can remember what adjusting is needed, but that flame is way to long, that's why it's taking him so long to heat the metal up. At least I know what knobs to turn to get the small blue flame at the tip and the bottle settings.

 

[Henro]

I think he's got power, think he's been using an angle grinder before, plus charging his phone and who knows what else.

He's definitely got power...at least as far as the power keeping us wonder what power he has...

make you some moulton

assess your harden lava, still a crack where it broke, but sides hold hopefully

show you what you fixing to do:

melt you a piece of rebar in the line of your nail, encompassing both entity for more structure support

your mind filled with nonsense and have too many task on your life?

say to them: yall hold up while I go play with lava and forget about english language for couple hour

grab random piece of rebar and it fit perfectly, melt it right there, gravity will be your team

grind down your rebar and it seat

first you melt the larger side onto the bracket, then get you small side hanging hot, smack with sledgehammer, then continue doing magic trick to make one entity

go you now get you lost deep in that moulton

your flame keep hissing, take you out your tip, run through part cleaner, hit with compress air

melted the rebar but didnt stick to the bracket, more heat

the bad flame disrupted your progress and your magic conduction,

need way more heat on the area for longer period so it bind to your bracket

have you bunch of task and too over burden? get you lost in that moulton, forget you about english language

yes, with the big flame, melt you thick steel until it is one entity

Observation on welds.

I understand that this is about experimentation, but consider this.

Nails are purposely made ductile. They are also coated with zinc for outdoor use. Ductile means that strength is sacrificed. Zinc will make for poor welds, as it interferes with the bonding.

Rebar comes in different strengths. The lower grade is less than what would make a good quality repair weld.

Lots of heat for extended time can cause loss of strength. Tempering may be used to correct that.

Instead of gas, an arc welder will minimize the amount of heat and time. The use of sticks will provide the proper strength filler material without guessing, and allow more material to be in contact which allows more strength per linear bond.

Assess your harden molten

assess your moulton, see if your two entity become friend

you might melt this part together but maybe not

show you the crack that from along the main break, maybe hit it one more time hard

this part directly above the crack that form, you might:

put it upright high spot up, aim the flame directly down, and make massive moulton puddle that could connect it all,

and give you more assurance

let you the narrative marinate, work also on the other magic trick

summary: keep you trying to become magician

your busted fel valve:

prop it tight using lumber, successfully do you a smaller magic trick

your torch always hiss, clean

hopefully your busted fel hold

your busted from fel support, what you fixing to do:

melt you the thickest piece of steel you got laying around along the path display in photo

exact setup of how you fix to conduct magic

find the biggest bolt layin roun, cut off head, melt them all into 1 entity

woah, play you with that moulton with zero clench or pain

state you most importan narrative:

there are day when you have 2 dimensional thinking and action, your action will be flaw

other day, you have 3 dimensional narrative: your action and understanding sharp, your action less flaw

go you back to playing with the lava, take off your clamp and finish magic trick

You are way to practical. This whole thread is ridiculous and I just contributed again. Dang.

lost in moulton

you light your flame while it is daylight,

get you so lost in the moulton, play a game with lava, manipulate into the low point,

swing big big flame around adjust angle of flame playing game with lava

then you finish and turn off the flame, take off your dark shade, and it is pitch black outside

you were so lost in the moulton, that you forgot that time exist

wow

get both cross section, you would not be surprise if this weld hold, but not fully certain

hit you your bracket one last time where the crack form

when you make that moulton bring 2 entity into one,

your brain also reconnecting with a part of itself that it has long ago not felt

get you lost deep in that moulton, forget you about all their artificial everything,

make you moulton for hour upon hour, your brain, heart and physical body start to become one entity, just like the steel

woah

This thread makes Red Green's work look good.

 

[D2Cat]

Some of that molten splatter is disgusting!!!!! That would get a high school kid kicked out of shop class permanently.

 

[Sidekick]

This thread makes Red Green's work look good.

Probably because Red Green didn't smoke fatties .

 

[WI_Hedgehog]

Probably because Red Green didn't smoke fatties .

"Rollin' Fatties" should be the new thread name, in part because of the welds...

one more big magic trick, see if your robot will hold as you carve earth

put you in a bet, will your bracket hold?

you say it hold for 5-7 hour, whats your guess?

do you a big ol magic trick, try it capture with camera and show the world

hold together big steel tight with big clamp

loosen your slack on your overall,

enjoy you a dance with the moulton, caught on camera

your moulton puddle block the entrance of your bolt, spend you time with drill bit boring the hole, thinking,

"woah, how does that big flame manipulate steel and it take me real effort just to remove tiny of it?"

power of that big flame smack you right in the face

will your rebar moulton nail bracket complex melt contraption hold as you shape realm?

use clamp to get your massive bolt to connect together your robot

put together your robot, put the clamp back on exhaust, put gorilla glue so bolt dont come out,

bolt came out, exhaust was hanging, busted the hole again into your exhaust manifold

I learned to arc weld in high school. I started with a 4x4x1/4 plate. I also learned to weld with oxy-ace and a coat hanger. There is a place for oxy-ace. I also achieved welding an aluminum beer can with a tig.

Nowhere would I do a oxy-ace welds like this. It is just ridiculous.

 

[GreensvilleJay]

Those must be 'American THICK aluminum beer cans' cause the Canadian ones are so thin.
How thin are they ?
They're so thin, you can see THROUGH them, to see how much beer is in the can !

 

[JRHill]

Like many things the arc was on the rod, not the base. It flowed to the base (the can). The high freq carried the whole thing because the amps were so low. The weld was a blob compared to the can. But it was tight.

I won't comment on Canadian beer cans or their beer.

 

[Tarmy]

The thread that just keeps on giving…er…entertaining…er…scaring….never mind.

 

[JRHill]

Well it is what it is. These forums are a business....

 

[GreensvilleJay]

cheap entertainment until the worms start sunning themselves on my driveway !

nature control

barely able to get the big ag wheel on your japan robot,

you are so fatigue from doing the everything, say you to nature:

please let the robot not come apart, at least for a bit long while you shape your realm some more

20 minute into shaping realm, bust your front fel support, sad

this support being busted is the reason you bust your rear bracket, since

its causing your fel big leverage and snapping your thick steel

soon: melt you massive I beam an fully hold together your robot

3 hour into shaping, somehow your other magic trick hold

come you across insane narrative:

break your robot shaping your realm, spend you 3-4 day lost in moulton, manipulating lava, becoming magician

hop you back on your tractor after tank and tank of magic gas fusing your robot into 1 entity

now you are shaping your realm with this new understanding after playing wit the lava,

sinking the lava into the low point, now you sink your realm into the low point with better understanding

woah, the moulton land connection

continue: the flame and the steel bucket are similar, doing the same motion

the bucket lug your realm from high point to low point,

the flame lug moulton from high to low point

and when backing your steel bucket, you make a sweep from the high point into the lowest point,

the same motion you do with the flame when lugging moulton down into your low point

unbelieveable

Lug around your realm thinking:

Nature broke your robot and force you to play with moulton,

To make you better at lugging your realm, wow
