“I enjoy welding, I found I’m naturally good at it and when I first tried it I thought it was pretty cool. It’s also the juxtaposition of it being a man’s job, but I can do it and I like that about it”
“Would you say you’re better than your male counterparts?"
“Yeah, well apparently women are naturally suited to it because of the detail involved."
After the scene in this photo, the sky turned black and the rain fell hard. I still wanted to make progress before calling it a night, so that I could have more time in Uganda for the weekend, so I pressed on.
The rain stung my face and invaded my clothing despite my rain gear. At one moment, I pulled over to look at my GPS and the water and gravel conspired to cause the bike to fall from under me. The left foot peg broke off.
The rest of the ride that night was made more difficult, as I had to either lightly rest my foot on the shifter, or hold it on other parts of the bike. First order of the morning was finding someone who could weld it back on.
GPS track of this weekend trip is here

Weld-Ons are manufactured with consistently sharp points to ensure positive contact when welded to sheet metal. Produced from carbon alloy steel, the point of the welding pin is hardened in a unique cold form process. This process hardens the points, giving them a steel temper that will not blunt or fl atten when applied, unlike other welding pins. The sharper point of contact results in a better weld and creates fewer sparks that can ignite adhesives or burn substrates. Weld-Ons are easily applied using any conventional portable or automatic resistance welding unit. Cup style washers are included with each pail and are designed to suffi ciently depress the insulation surface without tearing it.
Product comes in 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/8", and 1-1/2" lengths and quantities of 3,000, and 5,000 per bucket.

Trying to get my eye back in after a several month hiatus from welding. Padding beads, and running some lap joints, and butt joints.
This CO2 MIG welding machine is used as a power source. It is especially designed for short arc capability of welding with wire size ranging from 0.06 to 1.2/1.2 to 1.6 mm. In this welding machine, the weld is down to up to 30 amps and these are best suited for sheet metal application. This machine is ideal for general fabrication purposes up to 250/400 amps. - www.atcomaart.com/pd/70576749556957656868/mig-welders/mig...

Center stringer convenience stair connects two office floors in Starret Lehigh building. Stringer and slab edge assemblies are blackened. Twenty four stainless steel treads are welded to the stringer form a continuous ribbon. 1 1/4" diameter handrail posts are continuous bent "C" shapes that wrap around treds and are welded to stringer. Stair was delivered to site in one piece [24' long 3' wide 3' tall @ 2000lbs. Glass is two 1/2" layers of low iron tempered glass with PVB interlayer. Each panel is a 148.375"x41.25" rectangle that weighs 522lbs. Cut out in concrete floor is trimmed with a box of 1/2" thick blackened steel that was fully prewelded in the shop. The box picks up the load at top of stair and serves as a custom base shoe for the glass.

Grandad's nail art was awesome -- and now I've finally gotten photos of him in the process of welding new nail art. So this is how they were created... Welding... in one's own basement.

James Bernard L, my grandfather (dad's dad). Born 2/18/1922 in Fairmont, WV. Died 12/18/2001 in Arlington, VA.
Son of James and Minnie
Husband of Maria Clara ("Ronnie")
Father of Victor (dad)
Brother of Arnold Ray, Lena May and Charles
James Bernard L was a long-serving member of the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1stDivision, and its Association. He joined the National Guard in 1936, then the 16th Infantry in 1940 at Fort Jay, New York. In the Allied landings in Africa in November, 1942, he was the Regimental Sergeant Major. He fought in Sicily and later, in the Normandy Invasion, as a Warrant Officer under General Omar Bradley. He continued with the 16th Infantry through France, the Battle of the Bulge, Germany and Czechoslovakia.
After the war, he served at Fort Knox, Kentucky, the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon, Fort Shafter, Hawaii, Ft. Sam Houstin in San Antonio, TX, and the Adjutant Generals School, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, where he retired in 1960 as a CWO-4.
James then became one of the strongest supporters of the Regimental Association, writing many articles and booklets produced by the Association, and was a contributor, editor, and participant in the production of the recent volume of the regiment's history, "Blood and Sacrifice."
James was also an avid flag collector and member of NAVA, and a longtime philatelist.

Welding and joining technologies are fundamental to engineering and manufacturing. Without the ability to make strong and durable connections between materials it would be impossible to produce the many different items we all rely on in our everyday lives – from the very large (buildings, pipelines, trains and bridges) to the very small (medical implants and electronic devices).
TWI has its roots in welding and joining technology and over many years has been responsible for developing and encouraging the adoption of new techniques and best practice in all industry sectors, providing its Members with the right manufacturing choices first time.

This Welding Sock monkey was made as a gift for my dad on Father's Day. He loves to weld.
The monkey comes complete with Welder, welding mask, gloves, apron, and flame bandana.
MOW crews were installing a new switch at the Amsterdam Westhavens yard today.
They used a thermic weld to join the new switch with the other tracks. In this method some chemicals are mixed to get the right temperature to melt the steel and weld it together.

I wondered why the estate of Larz and Isabel Anderson was called Weld, so I did a little research.
Larz Anderson came from a wealthy family from Cincinnati, Ohio, but they were no where near as wealthy as Isabel's family, the Welds. I don't know if she was an only child, but she inherited $17 million when she was 5, in 1882. Her family came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony from England in the early 1600s. They fought in King Philip's War, the Civil War, and fought against the Pequot indians in Connecticut. They bought land from Algonquian indians in Contoocook, NH. They owned a fleet of ships that traded with China, railroads, and real estate. They have a close relationship with Harvard going back about 400 years. Former Massachusetts governor William Weld was from this family. They sold an investment company to George H.W. Bush's uncle, which was later sold to Merril Lynch.
I'm fascinated by their history, but I've written way too much about it here. You can find a lot more at wikipedia:
