I wish I had time to actually learn how to even MIG weld. All I have done is exhaust work. Functional......but not pretty LOL.
Very nice examples of craftsmanship here.

Ok, I'll play. A few first projects.
Aluminum bedcover was my first ever aluminum welding project , stainless sword blades was my first ever stainless welding project.

2009 Camaro nose grafted to el camino was my first ever thermo elastomeric olefin plastic welding job. Aluminum air scoop was my first mirror polished aluminum welding job.


Honestly I don't weld often enough to have perfected doing really excellent appearance weld beads, most stuff I do gets ground down & polished anyways, but I survive ok. It takes better than average attention to penetration depth to be able to grind most of your weld off & then polish it.

Some of you guys are freaks! You weld like a machine! I will only post one of mine because I have nothing great to show. Been welding very part time over 3 years.


The TIG


The MIG

I am ready for the bad weld comments...
