Alright, I went out to the garage and cleaned a little at first. Seems I have a rather large family of spiders taking up residence in and around Booger! Not no more.....
I got my mig all set up, plugged in and turned on. Turned on the gas, wait a minute, it’s already on!
My son had borrowed it to weld something a couple months ago, damnit. I had a little gas left, enough to tack the support in there. I’ll get a new bottle tomorrow.
My first welds were a little sloppy, what’s new there, lol. Got better real quick though, I also still have my handy grinder too.
You know what? This was a lot of fun.
It’s a little hot today, so I sweated.
We have a cold front rolling in this week, that’ll be nice. We’re talking 50’s for highs on wednesday!
Anyhow, picture of it on Booger. Pretty dang solid with just the tacking.
As soon as I get the new bottle of gas I’ll do the perimeter welding thing and do a little grinding and get it coated.
First chance to use my new welding helmet for serious stuff on Booger, it’s really a nice welding helmet.
Im really looking forward to having this part completed, I’m pretty excited about the new bracing I’ll put in where the upper SRA mount is.
