Butcher's Hook - Day 02.0 - Frame construction continues
more practice on corner welds, clamped together some more scrap and welded both corner welds on that small piece on the right
still had a crappy weld (blotchy) but I decided to do a "proof of concept" on it using the dremel aluminum oxide bit (orange or brown bits for grinding/sharpening ferrous metals)
With a better weld bead, inside corner welds would actually look pretty good after grinding with the alu oxide dremel bits, but more on that another day
back to the task at hand, getting the base of the frame put together. clamped the next piece to the L I did yetserday
buttered that weld
noticed the frame base was slightly out of square, so I cut the 10" cross member to help the situation
inserted the cross member and tapped it square with a hammer
now I could do the rest of the base welding "and not feel so damn self-concious"
buttered some more corners on both sides
then needed a contraption to raise the frame so I could get at these corners (I think I am slowly becoming the king of contraptions
)
rolled some dimes on the outter corners
ready to grind some welds
clamped
after grinding all 3 axis on the thre corners of the frame, I needed to do a couple patches
patch 1
patch 2
after regrinding patches
time for the upright sections, needed 2 * 2', and 2 * 2"
cut the 2' sections
then the 2" sections, checking them against the trolley rail, all ok
time to roll some dimes betwen the 2" and the 2' pieces
did all four welds (2 on each upright) and laid them aside for grinding and any rewelding/regrinding that may be needed (which I can say will be needed)
next session will be grinding the upright sections, fixing the welds, regrinding, then starting on the star pieces
thanks for watching
