Just A Small update on schooling.

Well those that know me, I like to share projects and other things that I end up either surprising myself with, or just plain love doing. So last year in April I went to school for Automotive and Chassis Fab. Auto was ok made it through without to much trouble. Chassis Fab has been plain awesome, learned a lot more about welding than I knew and learned tig welding something I have wanted to learn for quite sometime. Also learned how easy it is to notch tubing without having a notcher to use. And how to take measurements to make a full chassis to fit a certain tire in the rear, and what ever else is needed. Also learned how to get bend points for a roll bar.

 

So you can say I am quite proud of myself. And just to share these.

 

5 Point Thin Wall. Tig welded. All measurement had to be within a 16th of a inch. if you where off to much you got the awesomeness of redoing.

This is where things get more precise. This is the mock frame rail. Everything gets made from scratch. Needs to be 4" long, and 1 1/2" wide if it is not the 1 1/2" you get to redo it. Not finished with this as it needs to have a hole drill in a certain location in which you can only be a 16th off, and need to have a sleeve tig welded in place. Then you get to cut it in half. Mig weld with a backing on one side, and tig weld without backing on the other. Plus you have to finish your welds as i have started to do here.
