Tech Day - Welding (1 Viewer)

[Land Shark]

The club gathered today to learn and share knowledge. @matzell was gracious enough to host and be the SME.

Once we packed up and cleaned up a few of us hung around and helped Rob on his 4x4 Labs bumper. Man that is a cool bumper

It was a good day! Thanks to everyone for brining all the different machines to practice with, Big thanks to Clifton for getting all the scrap metal, missed you man! It was a good long day. Getting out there at 8:30 and finishing up after 6 pm. Thanks to @Land Shark and @FamilyCamper for staying late and helping get the bumper tacked up. I will get that welded out this week.

I hope someone stuck the electrode and let it roast when arc welding for me. I've never done enough stick welding to consider myself a welder.

That was me. I could not get the hang of that for sure. Just means I am a MIG guy.

Thanks for the reminder to finally swap over my own 4x4Labs rear onto the white '96. I'm gonna miss easily opening the hatch and tailgate!

That is why I did no swing outs on my Mall Crawler-Grocery getter!
