Subject: | Weldfest 2010 (or maybe 2011) |
A couple of us may be getting together for a weekend of welding/powder coating
in my shop.
And there might be room for one more person if anyone is interested in joining
us.
Here's the idea:
You make all your Pietenpol metal pieces that need to be welded (cabane fittings,
rudder horns, etc) and bring them with you. I'm glad to help if needed but
basically, you do all the work. I provide sand blasting, welding (TIG and gas)
and powder coating equipment.
It could likely end up being a one day effort. If I had done all my parts at once
I could have easily done them in one day.
Anyway, I have room in the RV for maybe one more person.
Your cost: a few dollars for gas if you use the gas welding setup and you feed
yourself. But if you want to cook, the RV has everything.
Could be a pretty inexpensive trip and a nice way to get your welding done.
The holidays are slow for me so I'm thinking maybe the weekend of Dec 4 or 11.
Or the weekend of Jan 8 or 15.
Not exactly a "Corvair College" but could be fun! And there's nothing definite
planned at this point so the dates are flexible. If this is something you might
be interested in, let me know off line.

What a great idea, Jim! Welding is easy to some, but to most I think it's an entirely
new endeavor that often gets hired out. Hope you have some takers...And
for any who may never have met Jim, you will be thoroughly entertained, and you
will enjoy his easy manner. And while you're there, please keep an eye out
for my Craftsman open end wrenches ('GB' will be engraved on each).

Jerry,
Your gear looks great! I am playing with an idea to pad my axle with some
stuff used to pad horse stalls (see attached). I have a lifetime supply and
would be happy to cut some strips for you, or anyone else who may be
interested.

A better test is to run a nice bead on 1/8" alum. Need an AC machine.

That is pretty quick. I believe it took me about 1.5-2.0 months to do my 31 ribs.
(+2 extra)
The fuselage has been my favorite part of the build...most involved and very fun
to do...so far.

Hey John,
Google the model number of your welder and "diy"....if someone has done
it, Google will find it!
I googled "water cooler" for my TIG machine and came up with a lot of
good, inexpensive ideas....
Then I did the mandatory "weld two aluminum cans together"....worked well,
remind me to show you next time you're in town.
Or just bring your stuff over and use my machine...

I have put together a dry rig Tig welder, it works well with the exception
of light gauge aluminum. Because its a makeshift machine I don't have a
pedal
heat control.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to add a foot pedal to the unit, its not
designed for one so its going to have to be a creative detailed method as
being
suggested ,designs, drawings, suggestions anything?

I was just looking at tanks last night. Wag-Aero has new tanks for $440 plus another
$110 for straps, plus shipping. Your find sounds like a good deal.
