Spot welding a new piece of sheet metal to a railcar undergoing restoration at NCRY's maintenance facility near Sunol, California.
Yippee-ki-yay. Found in Explore, 2/26/21.
Welding cracks in aluminum is tough. With its low melting temperature, you have to be very careful not to ruin it. And the sparks don't last long.
While I didn't capture as many sparks as I would have liked, the smoke tendrils almost make up for it.
An especially difficult metal to weld on with its low melting temp, especially when you're just trying to fill a small crack. But it does make for some cool pics. Didn't get the sparks I wanted, but the wisps of smoke are cool.
Killing a little time at work before going home. I didn't get the sparks I was hoping for, but the tendrils of smoke are pretty cool.

Close-up of welds on a “Beast”, a welded stainless-steel sculpture by Lynn Chadwick on the Univ of East Anglia campus, Norwich.
Stainless steel panels were welded together to make the beast. The colours are genuine but 'Sunday' sliders have considerably enhanced them plus added other effects. The ambers are reflections from summer scorched campus grass. The sky supplied the blues!

This is a close-up photo of two rivets and a line of welded solder on a truck trailer that suggests a pareidolia portrait.

Out for a Sunday drive and noticed the signpost for Ebenezer. I had heard about this historic little church but had never visited before.
First time behind the camera in a while having fractured my finger a few weeks ago. Forgot to check my ISO in all my eagerness so a bit noisy. (I guess these things happen!)
This tiny church is the oldest church in Australia, being built in 1809 by 8 families who arrived in the country together on the ship the "Coromandel" in 1802, and subsequently settled together . The small town of Ebenezer is on Hawkesbury River. The families prized education and also pioneered schooling in the colony beginning a school in 1810.
Picture from my phone.
Past few days we have done this welding, 12 hours in a day.
It has been really hard for the neck, shoulders and knees, but now its done. What a relief!
Welder in picture is my friend ylli.

جيت وش جابك حبيبي **من بعد طول المغيبِ
ولا ناوي ياحبيبي .**. تغرق الغرقان أكثر
تقول اني ما أهمك .**. يابرودة والله دمك
كنت في عيني أضمك .**. وأتغزل بك وأسهر
اللي جابك هو حبي .**. ولا شيءٍ مستخبي
ياللي ساكن وسط قلبي .**. ليه من حبي تنكر ..؟

The memorial chapel that Charles Weld built in 1852 in memory of his parents.
The Chapel is built in a cruciform style and is surrounded by a cemetery which is no longer used.
It is situated just behind St Giles' Parish Church
in Chideock, Dorset.
A pair of EMD motors rumbles through Brock as it makes its way south. This train was carrying welded rail probably bound for the coast as a long maintenance project was underway at the time.
A pattern welded blade by Pete Mattila of Hobart, Tasmania. Woodwork by me. The stripes in the blade are from a sandwich of two different types of steel. 15N20 which has a higher than average nickel content and 1084 - a high carbon steel. The steel forging process can also be called Damascus.
The two steels are forged-welded together and folded around 76 times before the blade shape is roughed out by hammer and anvil. When close to shape and thickness, the blade is heat treated before polishing then 'etching' in a weak acid solution and finally 'pickling' in a stiff brew of instant coffee :-) The coffee really bounces the contrasts in the metals.
At this stage I fitted the handle from a single piece of Bankisa Serrata, a species unique to eastern Australia and to one isolated pocket located in the Sisters Beach area of Tasmania. The timber used came from a band-saw milled windfall on my family farm.
The scabbard or saya (sheath) is clad in veneer of the same timber but is comprised of around 12 epoxied laminations of veneer to create the thickness necessary for the back of the blade.
A very lucky apprentice builder will receive the package sometime around Christmas as the whole unit is sponsored by a local building firm.
