I welded up a "front triangle" for practice. More difficult than the actual welding was knowing where to position my hands for each portion of the weld. How to hold the torch, how to hold the filler and how much of each joint I could weld at one time. Access is tricky at times. Challenging stuff. I need a lot more practice.
I'm working on a semi-non-functional telescope art piece for my welding class. Inspired by the telescope in LOTR and the concept of the "amber spyglass" in Philip Pullman's book of the same name.
This is one of my attempts at capturing "heat" for a Newcastle Sundance challenge.
I took my camera into my school workshop and experimented with different subjects and settings and got this image as a result.
This MIG welding machine is designed by using latest technology. It is universally known as metal inner gas (MIG) / metal active gas (MAG), welding process using argon gas or co2 gas for shielding the weld pool to avoid oxide formation during welding. In this, wires of 0.8, 1.2 or 1.6 mm is continuously / intermittently fed through wire feeder mechanism torch to weld different types of jobs with the help of DC power source. It is a sort of semi-automatic welding process. - www.atcomaart.com/pd/49534970496567545449/mig-welders/mig...
Not entirely satisfied with this weld. I had a look from the other side and the seam didn't achieve uniform penetration. The next piece I welded in was a lot better though -- with really nice, uniform penetration. Sadly I didn't take any pictures of it, but I spent 5 minutes under the car, staring at the weld, grinning and thinking "okay, that's a good one. hope I remember what I did to achieve that".
I was a bit impatient, so I did the incremental spot welds a bit too quickly and as a result the metal buckled a bit, but I don't really care -- this weld won't be visible and the main thing is that it is a strong weld.
Waiting for my car to get fixed. The emergence of rock music across the street caught my attention first, then the welder went to work.
It looks to me like this thick shaft was first crudely cut with a welding torch then used as a test bed where some amateur was perhaps taught how to weld. The cut is not too messy but the remnants of the surface welds spell b-e-g-i-n-n-e-r to me.
A gearbox broke in one of the Ford Econolines 46" and they build a new one from scrap. This man was welding it together in 1000m over sealevel in -10° celcius far away from all civilication.
i think the first thing i tried to do was not use a flash - i figured the light from the welding arch would be bright enough i could light the subject and be able to knock out the background due to the exposure. needless to say, it didnt seem to work.
I then opened it up and then had a super busy background and a blown out subject.
so i realized i was going to have to use a flash to get this right. so i stopped it down and slowed the shutter to get the amount of streaks that i liked.
i tried a little motion with my camera to see if i could get a really crazy scene and then freeze the subject with the flash. it didnt seem to be working so i didnt push it too much.
so i got an exposure i liked, which is the one on the far right. so then it was just a matter of timing to get the sparks how i liked them. needless to see, the very next exposure was "the one"
I finished the prototype frame! It was much easier than expected, I blame the right tools.
(update: final frame can be found here)
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.
