Loved the dancing,wavy lightening effect of particles in a welding garage.

Since its early beginnings as the British Welding Research Association in 1946, TWI has been at the forefront of arc welding development. For instance, we developed carbon dioxide (CO2) shielding for MIG/MAG welding, making the process viable for welding carbon steel, and built the first solid-state power sources, paving the way for thyristor and inverter technology.

The two ends of a new expansion joint on the westbound I-90 East Channel Bridge near Mercer Island, WA are ready for welding.
The welder concentrates first on welding together the two bars at the center of the expansion joint.
They've been very carefully aligned with eachother.
Welding all the ends together on this expansion joint will take more than 30 hours because it requires many passes.
This is one of two new expansion joints on the East Channel Bridge.
WSDOT replaced the expansion joints on the bridge in July 2014 because the previous expansion joints were 33 years old and showing their age. The steel had cracked, the rubber seal was broken.
Replacing the joints preserves the bridge and helps ensure the safety of drivers who use it every day.

Tight crop...wasn't walking around with a big lens.
Black cable carries welding current, clear tube carries inert gas, thin wires carry remote control. The faster the welding wire goes, the higher the current. The grey covering is free form fiberglass. To see under the cover: flickr.com/photos/21702692@N05/2200225640/

Welding the two ends of one of the new expansion joints on the westbound I-90 East Channel Bridge near Mercer Island, WA is underway.
The expansion joint, when welded together, is 82 feet long. There is a new expansion joint at the east end of the bridge and another near the west end of the bridge.
The center point of both expansion joints need to be welded together. That allows the joint to work and move as one piece with the bridge itself.
Welding the ends together will take 30 hours or more. The welder starts with the center beam and after that is completed will move to the others.
New expansion joints on the East Channel Bridge were necessary because the previous joints were deteriorating. At 33 years old, the steel had cracked in many spots and the rubber seal was broken.
Replacing the expansion joints was necessary to preserve the bridge and ensure the safety of drivers.
My fuel tank was apparently falling off. The guy was only supposed to put a temporary strap on the stupd thing. Something that would just get it back to the yard. He spoke with our mechanic though and then started welding the strap back to the frame. Our mechanic wasn't a happy camper when he got the $600 bill.
The green guy is welding behind a black screen, which works as a mirror. The heat of the welding is the reason he is visible at all.

Welding Glass setup ...... I must attach lens hood with rubbers because there is no front thread on the filter now actually is to small for hood.
