Spot welding a new piece of sheet metal to a railcar undergoing restoration at NCRY's maintenance facility near Sunol, California.
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.

The Welded Rail Extra rolls through Lowell Yard. The crew would leave the rail train on track 4 at Anderson RTC, then take the 5933 lite to BET.
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Much better to View On Black. It actually seems to reign in on some of the harshness of the overhead light.
Morning of the 6th February, 56096 with 094 trailing were in charge of a welded rail train in Marple area. Stuck chasing aspects behind a London bound service, we see them here heading to Bescot from Strines.

A student practices MIG welding at The Crucible - an industrial arts studio and education space in Oakland, CA. The clamp in the foreground is the grounding clamp that connects to the arc welder.
Although I was not allowed to enter into the working area, due to health and safety, the owner of this one man welding business allowed me to take some wonderful photos. If you need a great welder give Welding Maintenance Christchurch Limited a call.
Parked in front of a sulfur recovery unit. The cab appears to be of the Generation 7 Ford F-Series (1980-86),. These rigs are often built upon a 1-Ton rated chassis.
Photo taken sometime during the mid-1990s.
Waiting, exposed, out in the open. Waiting to be encased in concrete - for likely a very long time.
Couldn't decide which one I like better. Have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend lead in.
A welding accident caused this blaze. This building is less than 100 feet from the new Hobby Lobby store five feet behind my camera position. The old panel van was moved a few days ago.
Welded Tube's centrecab, MPRX 101, is pictured as they make moves between the plant and the Tube Spur (former Michigan Central double track main) in Welland, Ontario.
