I used some @bluedemonweld Aluminum Bronze TIG rod to repair the worn splines on this shaft from the power feed clutch on an 80 year old lathe. I have never done something like this before, and I think it went well and came out OK. Check the link my bio for a video.

Hard to believe it’s been two years since the workshop was framed and roofed.
Hard to believe it’s been two years since the workshop was framed and roofed. A lot has changed since this photo. And it’s planned usage changed a bit, too. For what was meant to be a combination workshop/winter Jeep storage is now becoming a fulltime workshop. No room for the Jeep with the addition of the lathe, and a future vertical mill.

I made a second version of a welding square.
I made a second version of a welding square. These were drawn up in Fusion 360, exported as DXF files, and then sent to a CNC water jet controller and cut from .250 steel.

Welding squares
Inspired by a product I have seen online and used in other YouTube videos, I set out to make my own welding square. I learned a little Fusion 360 and designed this small 8″ welding square. I was fortunate enough to have this cut out on a water jet at a local maker space. Used the Primeweld TIG 225x to weld it up.
Don’t tell the cops!

I was making some tack welds on a project the other day and it was awkward to reach some of the areas with the torch and reach the foot pedal at the same time. I installed the finger trigger on my TIG torch to make these operations easier. I made a video of the results and some explanation of what how some of the controls on the welding machine are affected.

I had designed this small cabinet a while ago.
I had designed this small cabinet a while ago. When I find time, I try and make progress on it. I have the main frame finished, not it’s time to add some doors.

I saved hundreds of dollars by using my @primeweld TIG 225 to make these locking clamps for my @weldtables welding table.
My first real attempt at an “arc shot” using my Primeweld TIG225X
Homemade Harrow
We had this 90′ maple tree removed from our backyard. I was sad to see the tree go, but a good part of the trunk was rotten and spongy. After the stump was ground and the mess cleaned up, I wanted to fill the hole with some top soil and plant some grass. Moving around 7 yards of dirt was going to be a chore, so I made my version of a harrow that I could pull behind my lawn mower.
I used my PrimeWeld TIG 225 in stick welding mode mostly because I wanted to practice SMAW and also because I didn’t want to spend a lot of time cleaning the metal.
I think it came out great, especially since this was all from scrap metal I had lying around the shop. It did exactly what I needed it to do and made the job a lot easier. I made this YouTube video of the build and part of how I was able to use it.
