Dean, I plan on the Gingery shaper too. I may have patterns available after I finish mine that you could borrow. Depends on who gets there first. |

--- Quote from: ieezitin on February 07, 2010, 10:49:28 PM --- Gadget Nice work. I am very interested in the out come of this. I am a welder for a living and see the little things you are doing wrong by the photographs shown. You don’t have bad welding skills you need just a little theory and a pointer in the right direction. Its an easy fix. I am going to in the next month do a thread on stick and Tig welding from start to finish. Getting involved of the theory and metallurgy of it. Walking the cup and stick angle will be covered, that’s half the battle. It really is easy and the techniques are simple. Its all about practice. Your job is fine. Nice work. Anthony. --- End quote --- Thanks Anthony. I my current "theory" is make it stick together, beyond that I only know what I have read. There is so much out there it's hard to find out what is the cause of this problem or that problem. If I were going to do a lot of this I would take a class but as a nearly retired hobbiest, I can't justify the cost. Dan |

Dan, this is very inspiring. I'm in the final stages of building a very very primitive wood fuelled foundry. I expect it to be inefficient and barely able to melt aluminum - we'll see. I hope to cast myself little items which you guys normally make on a mill, a fixed steady is also the list. If I have little success then I plan to build a proper waste oil foundry. It's good to know there's guys on the board that's experts in these fields. If I survive and not burn myself to a crisp, I may tackle the Gingery shaper. Anthony, I'm looking forward to your thread. I'm always keen on picking up new tips and tricks. The older I get, the worse my welding becomes. Regards. |

I spent the weekend hand scraping the pads for mounting the vertical ways this weekend. Once that was done I mounted the headstand and vertical ways. I have the ways mounted with two screws right now. The remaining holes are drilled and countersunk but still need to be tapped, I just ran out of time. |

Starting to take shape there Gadget. Looking very nice. Bernd |
