The guy on the left of the picture is tack welding frame sub assemblies together from the pile of parts in front off him, his completed work is hooked on the rack in the right of the picture.
The welders behind him then complete the welds, they will each have a specific section to weld before they pass it to the next guy behind them, and so on until the frame is welded
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...
Ellen McGlynn and Caitlin Graboski learn to Arc Weld and cut steel with the Oxy-Acetylene torch. Ellen made an awesome flower pot and E for Ellen, and Caitlin made a beautiful tree.
We continue to wrap up the rest of the chassis welding. If you haven't already seen, we just had the Rock Bug rolling for suspension clearance testing. This was blogged at blog.spidertrax.com/2009/01/07/a-rolling-rock-bug/

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.

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:
River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken in the first full week of November 2014.
There is a noticeable drop-off in the level of activity on this site now.
There's still some finishing touches to the river bed itself, cosmetic work along the riverbank sides, and a jig-saw pattern of large boulders placed in mid-stream.
The main (final) focus will be on completing the profiles to the sheet-steel wall, securing the structure with poured concrete, and then the completion with the pre-fabricated stone capping.
The majority of operatives who attended through the summer months have since moved on to other sites/tasks.
And we can see a slow repatriation of heavy-duty equipment back to base.
Having laid steel frames, back-braced for rigidity, they proceed to pour mixed cement into a suspended cradle which is swung across the river, allowing them to carefully measure out the cement fill through the sleeve.
