An ironworker from Diamond Steel Construction starts welding the 2"x2" square bars to the deck of the 60' QTTX flat car. The 80-ton GE has 8' wheelbase trucks, so 10' bars were welded to the deck to act as rails.

A little while ago North Island College hired a new welding instructor and asked me to take some portraits of him in his new classroom at the Port Alberni Trades Complex. I took advantage of the access and also hung out with some students in their booths to try and get my own version of the classic 'welding sparks flying' shot.
I constantly try to push my own abilities and 1/8th handheld is pushing pretty hard! The wide angle lens, high-ish ISO, little bit o' flash and Joe McNally's patented stance all came together and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out and I LOVE the lens flare. I wish you could see just a little more of his hand and the welding equipment.
Found above the high tide area on Ramsey Beach in the Isle of Man.
Help with ID appreciated thanks Buckeye for the conformation

Looking down on Harvard's Weld Boat House from the Anderson Bridge on the Charles River. (The bridge was recently restored.)

Having just pulled the rails to stress them, a Thermic weld is dropped to join them. Here the rails are undergoing pre-heat in order to ensure that they are hot enough for the molten metal to fuse correctly to them.
My take on eclipse pics. We were in Carbondale, IL, on the exact center line of the event, with 100% totality.

My low-tech compositing - Took a lot of individual shots, then cut and pasted into one frame using Microsoft Paint.
Another busy day today. Have to work again tonight, this time at another school.
This was yesterday, a great day for photoshooting :)
Busy, but I will catch up later...
Although I am pretty handy with a striker and torch, there are times when hiring a professional is the way to go. I am having huge wrought iron gates built to go within the arch across the courtyard beside Studio d'Xavier. Here, one of the artisans is welding in pickets.
We're exploring enameling on steel lately, and with liquid enamels and with welding too. No sense in attacking one variable at a time when you can get yourself caught up in snowball rolling down hill of cascading effects.
The steel is very interesting material and has a certain degree of flexibility that enameled copper does not. it also lends itself well to welding, which opens a whole new avenue for secondary operations on the enameled piece.
This pair of opposed dangles is about 2in (55mm) long.
This shot was taken using grade 8 welding glass. The bulb is as old as i can remember and used to be completely red. I think the coating has burned off the bulb leaving what looks like dust / fingerprints. I can assure you that it's not (i tried to clean it off lol). I'm pretty sure i have another one of these bulbs lying about so ill try and dig it out and have a re-shoot.
