A friend was doing some welding so I decided to try my luck at getting some close-up shots. We had a good system where I'd focus on the spot, shut my eyes really tight and then he'd start. When I heard sparks, I shot. Got some pleasing results.
Are Caiman welding gloves good?
They're more expensive than some of the cheaper tillman gloves, but their durability makes them worth the extra money. These Caiman gloves are made to combine dexterity, comfort and good heat resistance.
These badges are professionally crafted for the men and women of the Weld County Sheriff's Office.

Ribbons of continuous welded rail wait for installation along CN's Freeport Sub near Hawthorne Crossing, Chicago. With double-track jointed rail and US&S R-2 "traffic light" signals, this section of the old IC Iowa Division still retains some flavor, though it appears the jointed rail is not long for this world.
This doesn't look like much, but it represents a lot of hours of learning and doing. Around 30 hours of time at the welding table to get to this point is my best guess.

Southern Railway railfan excursion train steam locomotive # 2716 (former C&O), a 2-8-4 Berkshire (Kanawha) ALCO 1944, seen near a signal bridge on the mainline to Charlottesville from Alexandria, Virginia, July 1982. Railfans, observers and photographers are out an about when the train passes by. I always like to present photo views with locomotive headlights shining onto the rails, as it is in this photo.

On the left, the structure model sits on the floor in front of Marco.
In the middle, the model is up on the table- a part being added.
On the right, the finished structure model.
Marco told me on the phone that it is the left ankle of the 40 foot version.* It was stress tested yesterday, using a fork lift this time. The other stress test was done with a truck:

* - i suppose this could be the first useable piece of the finished sculpture, but made from measurements. The usual way to make full size parts will be to measure up from plaster, 3 foot, sections, but they are not made yet.
Later- this piece was kept as a model. the left ankle was built again.
Another one for the eyes this week… welding safety! Welding sparks and the light emitted can quickly damage your eyes if you are not wearing the proper gear. If you notice somebody welding, be sure to keep your eyes away until they are finished. Also, be aware of surrounding surfaces that can bounce hazardous light into your eyes. If you are the welder, do your best to let others know you are welding. If you can, set up the welding walls around you to block the light and proper vacuums to ventilate the fumes. Don’t forget to wear welding gloves, the materials you are welding can be extremely hot and damaging if they enter your pores.
