Today I got to weld again, for the first time in about 8 years. I like TIG welding, it’s very satisfying, though I think I gave myself a bit of a tan – my skin has that “just welded” smell. The tubing is an exhaust header for the hovercraft motor. I also fabricated a nice metric broach to cut a keyway in the shaft adapter I designed (and Mark cut out on the Mori Seiki I fixed last week). Fun work… tired now…
mmmm… i miss that just welded smell… i remember it well from when i lived in a house that was being welded together…
