The seat stay junction at the seat tube was one of the most acute angles I've had to weld to date. A good challenge and put the skills to the test.
Untouched, but here is the details. First attempt with welding screen glass at long exposures. This was taken with a Parweld Shade 8, with an aperture of f11 for 93 seconds. There are marks on the glass, plus some flare, which I will investigate in time.
TWI is at the forefront of solid phase friction welding and processing technology. Active and innovative in welding research and development since the 1960s, we are responsive to industry needs and provide consultancy services to all industry sectors.
Support for industry includes: advice on component design, process selection & quality issues, troubleshooting, feasibility & pre-production trials, application & prototype equipment development.
TWI has been responsible for many key innovations and developments in solid phase joining; Friction stir welding was invented at TWI and was rapidly applied by industry; Linear friction welding was developed into a mature joining process for turbine blades.

Welding lab for ME 436. This lab takes place at Conestoga College because they have a full shop deigned for teaching welding.
Trying to get as much expulsion as possible. Success!
My very first attempt at welding. Result, a small steel box which is ridiculously heavy. But now I can weld.

Clamped down a aluminum bar to draw heat away. Used the blue soaked tissue to keep it cool after welding abit.

My neighbor Gary, creates welded steel sculptures. This one warns....
(This sculpture is about 9 feet tall.)
We are building a Go kart on school, so i took my camera with me to take some pictures. If some one is interested i could send the inventor pictures.
Part of a new series of images im starting all using a homemade welding glass filter......i hope in the future to gather enough images to produce a book or something......i would love other users input/thoughts on these imagesThanks
My Dad's Shop
This is the beginning of a new project I'm embarking upon in order to fill up some time. My dad has a shop in his basement, and it's absolutely full of stuff. I won't say crap, because it's not crap; it's amazing.
There's a band saw. A table saw. A scroll saw. There's even something (somewhere) called a Sawsall. Basically, if it has a blade, he's got it.
He makes lamps out of found wood. He restores tube radios from the '40s. He works on super secret "Tony, don't post pictures of this on the Internet" stuff for clients.
He welds. He solders. He sands. He grinds. He clamps. He is not a serial killer.
Coming soon: environmental portraits of my father in the glory of his man-cave.

Friction Stir Welding was invented by Wayne Thomas at TWI Ltd in 1991 and overcomes many of the problems associated with traditional joining techniques. Friction Stir Welding is a solid state process which produces welds of high quality in difficult to weld materials such as aluminium and is fast becoming the process of choice for manufacturing light weight transport structures such as boats, trains and aeroplanes.

I also welded the plates around the pivot rod, but this was mostly a mistake. Too much weld material accumulated and I had to grind things down. Probably would have been best to skip this whole thing.
Looks like the break started at the weld on the back/bottom of the tube kickstand. Looks like the 15mm(5/8") round bar center was supposed to be strain relief for the weld. I like to think the engineers designed it to go the length of the kickstand, and the manufacturer cut corners.
After 2 years of saying "I would love to take some photos of your welding shop" I finally brought my camera over to John's welding shop. I was not disappointed.
