Welding Constant

I couldn't figure out which picture looked better so I posted all three of them. This is the final form of the rose I have been working on. I should be selling these in 9 months on etsy. That would give me enough time to graduate college.

Alright, this is the more perfected version of the last rose.

Just made a rose out of license plates. This one is the proto type for the perfected model I plan to make later. Roses are license plates lol.

I am now welding with 7018. The flux for this pass popped right off in one single piece.

Welding pads; give me a few more weeks to perfect my angle and travel speed and I should be good.

This is the first weld I have ever attempted with SMAW; not bad for a beginner. The rest of the welds are from my booth partner.

Built a hand saw. It's not very productive but, it's pretty to look over. Created using a milling machine, a lathe, tap and die set, a drill, a brass hammer, a small 1 pound hammer, and a metal bending device.

A Drill Bit Sizer and Paint Can Opener. Created using a milling machine, a standard drill, an assortment of sandpapers, and a mild steel stamp set. -Material used: Mild Steel; after being created it was then dipped in a hardening powder.

A Barn star made out of license plates. This was all hand bent and put together with rivets. The tools lying on the ground are what I used to create the barn star. You too can make these. Great way for selling those old license plates.
