En attendant que le premier fauconneau saute du nid, ce soudeur attira mon attention. Il se trouvait de l'autre côté du canal Lachine.
Arc welder.
Échangeur Turcot, Montreal.
Believe it or not, this shot was taken in the Troodos mountains in Cyprus, this guy and his crew were installing a new fire escape four floors up on the outside of a hotel.
Welding never looks very impressive in "black and white" so I left it in colour. The background was a bland grey sky as I was looking up four floors, so a couple of spots of colour from "Lightroom" to make things a bit more dramatic.
I hope you like it.
Got this old Lincoln arc welder for free, a friend of mine said this welder did not work and gave it to me. I cleaned up the electric/electrode contact clamps and it works fine now. This welder is around 60 years old.

"This seems to me an ingenious thing, little used, but of great usefulness."
Vannoccio Biringuccio, 1540 - from his book "Pirotechnica"
I met two ironworkers today. Josh and Roy.
Josh has been in the trade for two years. Roy has been an ironworker for 21 years and specializes in ornamental work. Dressed in the heavy plaid flannel of a tradesman and sporting the almost obligatory pack of Pall Malls in the front pocket, he looked the part as he welded a beefy iron fence. He used to work on what he called "high steel". Skyscrapers. I asked which he preferred.
Roy: "High steel."
Joe: "More adventure?"
Roy: "More money." He adds with a hint of resignation, "At a certain age, it's just not safe to work on high steel anymore. So, now I do ornamental."
And so he does, and the sparks fly...

Welder in the Corner
In one of the dark corners of the old foundry, an old arc welder stays hidden and without power…
Please! Don’t laugh! This is not meant to be a put down of anyone or any group. Evidently our Commander in Chief has a message that appeals do many hardworking Americans. Rather than scoff at these patriotic citizens, those of us who differ from those opinions might be well-served to figure out just where we are missing the mark. You would be surprised at the thoughtful nature of many of these folks. You don’t win hearts or minds by feeling that you are Superior... that’s a Lake in Michigan.
Welder is bolted to top wood base, and top wood is screwed to frame at front and back. Note the strap holding the argon tank to the support strut. Welding helmet (not shown) hangs from a hook underneath. Although I could have made the cart narrower and smaller, I wanted the stability of a wider cart. See also photos 1 and 2. This was based on a model made by btmspox.
Welders attach steel plates acting as brackets to a large beam at the platform level of the station box.

Looking south, colorful violet light streams from a welder's arc during the installation of temporary bracing inside the station box.
Flat bar met the Arcwelder, formed into 16lb Rail for a ready-made Checkrail.
This has yet to meet the Anglegrinder to have a radius applied to the railhead, and then should meet the Railbender for deflecting the ends, although I'm thinking of planing off the side of the railhead given this will be within the planked crossing. Deflected ends would create issues around fitting within the planks.
While his master welds on some final modifications, the 'head' junkyard dog called Spud takes a nap.
A welder attaches ventilation equipment to a metal stand on the north side of the north access shaft for Chinatown Station.
Light flashes and more sparks fly with welding and torch cutting atop one of the temporary steel supports.
Primed frame, made almost entirely of 1"angle iron, except for the top handrail which is 1" square tubing all around. All metal is 1/8" thickness. The bottom angle iron pieces are oriented so the opening is narrowest at top. Therefore the bottom wood frame slides in from below, held in place by the bolts for the casters. Three hooks underneath will hang wiring and helmet. Front handrail at right is for dragging the cart forward, back rail protects and stabilizes the small argon bottle. I should have drilled the holes for the casters before this stage, as it was awkward to balance the whole frame on a drill press.
3/4" plywood base slides into 1" angle iron from below, and is bolted with three bolts used for castors at each corner. Castors are swivel at front, straight at back. Unfortunately I didn't spring for locking castors at front, my mistake. Upper plywood rests in angle iron at front and back. Wood is finished with two coats of polyurethane. See photo 3 for final mounted version.
A welder on the north side of Ellis connects short I-beam sections to structural piles ahead of floor slab construction.
Arcwelder at the Turf Club (12/23/2011)
Shot for City Pages Minneapolis

Saw a bunch of these. Saw fIREHOSE a number of times. The Nirvana show ($5, mainroom, 1991) was one for all time. Huge amount of energy in the place and this was right before they broke big that Christmas. Another classic was Primus (Sailing Seas of Cheese era I think) opening for Fishbone.
...Now the union boys are there
To protect us from all the corporate type
While curious George's drug patrol
Is out here hunting snipe
Now they try to tell me different
But you know I ain't no clown
'Cause those damned blue-collar tweekers
Are the backbone of this town
Now the flame that burns twice as bright
Burns only half as long
My eyes are growing weary
As I finalize this song
So sit back and have a cup o' joe
And watch the wheels go round
'Cause those damned blue-collar tweekers
Have always run this town
-PRIMUS
I hope everyone had a fun Labor Day
Rachels (memb June of 44) and Lois (with Alan Sparhawk of Low and Heather Dunn from Tiger Trap) came through later in the month. The Rachels portion featured a moody set of super 8 films projected behind the group as they played. Bob Weston may have been in the band, but my memory is cloudy on that point.
Giving a good cleaning in the barn and running across a few things that catch my eye to photograph. I can see clearly now that I don't get out much!!! HAH.
