Butcher's Hook - Day 05 - Frame fabrication continues some more
contraption for a support weld under the trolley mount on one of the upright beams (didnt pic the finish weld for some reason, no worries more to come
)
needed to do the inside corner welds on the base, new contraption
blasted 5/64 stick @ 100 amps, thats with slag still on
chipped and brushed. anyone need some dimes?
next
next
the other upright trolley support weld
ground that weld (sorry blurry pic, you get the idea)
needed to make sure the two upright beams were the same length, clamped
ground the bottoms
flipped around to grind the tops, before...
after
sick ass 3-axis clamp makes an appearance
I wasnt quite ready to asemble the frame for welding, I needed to do some spot weld repairs along the top of one of the uprights, the big clamp came in very handy. Allowed me to free-stand the part and weld horizontally across the top edge
took three pics all were blurry, sorry, but you get the idea - spot filled (1/16 @ 100 amps)
nexy I needed to get some holes drilled in the base, clearing the way for frame assembly tomr
tap fluid, clamps and a drill press make quick work of this
thats the back top of the base, holes come thru from the bottom for hidden wiring
bottom back
bottom front
next was the cross-member. tapped it into position with a hammer
set it up for welding
trusty setup again - 5/64 @ 100 amps
workshop
: as I left for the evening
I know I said Id have the frame erected by end of today but a bunch of grinding offset my timing by like 2 hours so everything is on deck for first thing tomr
thanks for watching
