The Pennsylvania Railroad's former Samuel Rae Car Shop is home to Curry Rail Services, a full-service fabricator/rebuilder/paintshop all housed under one roof in Hollidaysburg, just down the road from Altoona. This facility is massive, and back in the PRR days was its main car shop for the entire system.
Many of you wonder why Republic has franchise containers in the Van Nuys location. This is because ConFab literally makes majority of all L.A. bins (bottom channel bins / mix side and botton channel bins). So they will take the bins across the street from the franchise bin yard to have them painted and have them wheeled back to be rolled out.
The bracelet is forged and fabricated from one piece of iron (mild steel) without welding or soldering. Starting from a solid bar of iron, I made two cuts making it to an „X” shaped piece with two extra ramifications for the „bridge” of the violin. The 6 „pegs” of the piece are made of brass, they hold the steel cabel in tension. In the amber I made 3 grooves where the strings click and this way it is set in the structure. There is an ant in the stone.
I WANT TO SAY SPECIAL THANKS FOR MY DEAR FRIEND, GREAT VIOLINIST: STEFANO PASTOR, WHO GAVE ME AN AMAZING CONSULTATION ON VIOLIN.

Iron ring fabricated from a square tube, red marble and bolts. In the holes of the marble there is leather squised to create a puffer.
The red marble is from Hungary, I found it on the street and I cut out this piece then polished. In Northen Hungary there are some valuable red marble mines.
Stands for homes of "Pre-fabricated construction".
After the utter destruction of London's East End during the second world war, there was a desperate need for cheap replacement housing, not only here but in all the major cities, and pre-fabrication was the answer. --- Sections constructed in factories all over the country in their thousends, and put together on pre-laid concrete bases on the chosen sites..
They were intended to be just temporary, with a life span of maybe ten years, but they were still widely occupied three decades later. Most people loved them. Understandably because most had previously only rented parts of old houses, with no bathroom and possibly even a toilet shered with other families.
The Pre-fabs were like small detached bungalows, with a small surrounding garden. They came equipped with a bathroom, indoor toilet, heating, and an electric cooker. ----- And wonder of wonders --- They all had a REFRIGERATOR
Fish and meat could now last for longer than a day. -- You didn't have to keep your bottle of milk standing in a bucket of cold water to delay it from going sour.. --- And the kids could have an ice cream without having to wait for the guy on a tricycle to announce his arrival.in the street. -- Unbelievable luxury for most.
Amazingly , I'm led to believe that there are still hundreds of thes pre-fabs still in use.
The picture also shows the bomb damaged St Paul's Church, shortly to be pulled down and replaced with an "ultra modern" one that, to my mind, was ( and is ) low, squat and ugly . I love old churches and think that a church should look like a church, not like something that could be mistaken fo a Mc Donalds. But that's just me, I guess.
Go to the next picture to see what was lost.

One of the most common types of arc welding is shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), which is also known as manual metal arc welding (MMAW) or stick welding. An electric current is used to strike an arc between the base material and a consumable electrode rod or stick. The electrode rod is made of a material that is compatible with the base material being welded and is covered with a flux that gives off vapors that serve as a shielding gas and provide a layer of slag, both of which protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination. The electrode core itself acts as filler material, making a separate filler unnecessary. The process is very versatile, requiring little operator training and inexpensive equipment. However, weld times are rather slow, since the consumable electrodes must be frequently replaced and because slag, the residue from the flux, must be chipped away after welding.Wikipedia

AllState measures in at 21" tall and is fabricated from a vintage Sears Roebuck and Co. battery booster. His head is fashioned from an aluminum laboratory beaker and his jaw from a measuring cup. AllState's eyes are a TV cable fitting, his nose a clock gear. Flexible gas line and a modified aluminum turnbuckle make up his arms/hands. He stands tall on old skool chrome BMX trick pegs and a pair of chalk line reel cases.
On March 2, 2018, crews fabricate formwork panels in the flyover work zone, and install false work to the flyover girders as part of ongoing construction for the I-405/SR 167 Interchange Direct Connector Project in Renton.
The Germans may have fabricated as many as 400,000 suits of body armor in the Great War. Photographic evidence is available but not common. Usually, the armor was issued to troops exposed in the front lines or assault troops. With the holstered pistol, this German is probably a machine gunner or a Stosstruppen.
Raising of No.3 Pan on high grade pan stage so all pan calandrias were on a similar level. L-R: Peter Axam, Bruce Jensen and Arthur Row.
Detail of the pre-fabricated Stainless steel Toilet and stair pods on the Lloyd's of London building by Richard Rogers.
Back in 1989 when I was asked during my Architecture Degree Application interview I was asked which buildings I admired. Lloyds of London was one of my answers, though it didn't go down too well as Hi-tech was already out of fashion. I remember being asked how they were meant to clean all those exposed services, pipes etc. Given it's now over 25 years old I'd say it still looks surprisingly good.
A series of shots taken during the 1970's and 1980's in the Highlands Fabricators yard at Nigg Bay, Scotland.
This would be early 70's possibly 1973.
I think this is Highland One, destined for the then new Forties Field. The spherical tanks were to aid the up ending of the platform during installation offshore.
Thanks to Billy Winton for allowing me to post these.
The largest high-performance optical lens ever fabricated (5.1 feet in diameter), seen arriving at SLAC, for the 3,200-megapixel digital camera of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The lens is mounted with a smaller companion lens (3.9 feet in diameter) in a carbon fiber structure. Both lenses have been built over the past five years by Boulder, Colorado-based Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. and its subcontractor, Tucson-based Arizona Optical Systems.

Highlands Fabricators Lampson Transi-Lift. The Atkinson 400 in this shot is still there and belongs to Isleburn now. I can confirm, being the last truck I drove, that this Rolls-Royce engined tug still goes well...lol.

Engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., moved a Composite Crew Module (CCM) into the Environmental Test Facility vacuum chamber to gauge how well a space structure fabricated with composite materials will react in a simulated space environment. Data gained during this test series will aid in the design and development of future in-space composite habitable structures.
During the vacuum test, the chamber is sealed and purged to a level a vehicle would encounter on orbit to evaluate the composite material's integrity. The crew module is filled with helium gas to allow engineers to detect any leaks that may occur as pressure increases. Vacuum testing will yield a leak rate for the entire structure, then the team works to repair small leaks that may arise to improve the hardware's performance.
The test team includes members from the Marshall Center; NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va.; Goddard Space Flight Center in Md.; Kennedy Space Center in Fla.; and the Boeing Company in Huntsville. To date, the team has completed ten tests and will continue testing through the end of the summer.
