A log mani I was making....had two other pics but they didn't come out as well as I though...all blurry.

On a new athsma medicine and it makes me shake like a sumbitch. You can't tell any of the time really, just when I am trying to hold really still. Breathing>super steady hands though

 

Get pics of the outcome, i dont think ive seen anyone make there own log mani.

 

Nah...not for me. I am doing a turbo install for a local high school kid. Lots of guys make logs on here though, you never saw one done by someone?

 

Nice welds for a shaky hand. Single passed right?

 

are those TIG welds

 

Single pass on the square down tube, root/fill on the runners

Yeah TIG weld

 

nice welds, asthma does suck . i hate it.

Yep, athsma pretty moderate-severe since I was 9 y/o. Always dreamed of the "you'll grow out of it" doctor promise. Never happened.

Luckily, my TIG welding has improved alot in recent months. The addition of a gas lense brought out so much damn beauty that I really got motivated to try harder. Prior to that my welds were below average...barely adequate in all honesty. The gas lense really cleaned the welds up alot. From there I really got serious playing with settings and practicing.

I have seen alot of improvement here recently....makes me pretty freakin happy. Then comes along new athsma medicine which I am not accustomed to...f'n me all up. At some parts it gets bad, but I try to breathe through it then do the sniper move. Breathe in, let half out, hit the trigger.

21, and still have it

 

By the way, thanks for the compliment on the weld.... This is a critical bunch on this site....makes me scared to post weld pics thinkin I'll get ran off. Some people feel solid about their welds til they post some pics on here...tough freakin critics around here. Demanding perfection I'm sure I'll never achieve.

Yeah, I thought that but I didn't want to jump to any conclusions. I really wasn't showcasing my superb log mani...just simply that despite shaking hands I was pretty pumped I could still manage to weld alright. Really don't see the need for sarcasm there.

 

Looks damn good Very impressive welds on the box to log.

 

Looking good. Hopefully I can get my gas lense working for me. Are you using your 1/16 or 3/32 for that? Also what size filler and amps?

i dont think anyone shows off a log mani so to me its understood this is a demo of your welding

however the picture angle doesnt seem to refelct that. i cant see that much welding. looks like you tried to sneak in the pick of the "good spot."

3/32 with 1/16 filler....not sure on the amps. I had the machine set at 90 and was partial throttle after getting the weld started

Yeah, I didn't think the title implied, "hey check out my wonderful log manifold", yet some people apparently took it that way.

In my mind the pic reflected what the title implied. Like I said in the beginning, I had a couple more pics but they came out blurry. I took this angle because the curvature beneath the runner is a more difficult weld than the straight area. I actually thought the angle showed more weld area, that's why I took it that way.

My camera is a 3mp Kodak, but it just doesn't seem to take as nice pics as it used to. Anything up close and it gets all f'd up.

Really isn't a demo of anything, just surprised that I still welded descent on my medicine. I'll try to take more pics if I get the time, maybe the other sides?
