everyone here has good days and bad... post your goods... your "getterdone's" (bad) and post up some of your Fukk ups (uglies).

good:





bad:





ugly: Crack repair... cant find anything else ugly... tend to not picture those...

 

Yea there's already a thread for this...

 

Pretty sure theres just a "show your best welds" and the "worst fabrication" thread.

I think this is a good idea.

 

yeah i am subscribed to both of those... they get boring... haha!

i just wanna some of the best guys here man up and post some fukk ups! haha!

 

I will see if i can dig up some of my stuff i have screwed up. Like most i try and not take pictures of that stuff. haha

 

That's gonna be the hard part lol

 

I'm not gonna bother with the good, my thread has got that covered. I will however post up some of my fodder. I usually take pics of everything, and just post what looks good once I see it on the screen. I found some that fit the bill here though...
Good place to start:
A crappy weld onto a cast neck for ford stuff. God I could not make it happen..

My first crack at an Inconel 625 fillet a few years back..

Just a complete goof on a tack/tie-in.

Mild steel work is my worst, for sure. Here is me fixing a cobra kit car exhaust that broke after 90 miles. I put 2 gussets on it also, and it's been fine.

This was a fix for a jeep part that broke, not that bad, but hard as hell. It was about the same OD as a quarter.

The ugly weave bead on the neighbor's new bumper

Found this in the subaru turbo manifold pile, not the best...

This was on the Impala, not terrible, but it's not my regular style as I was speed welding and did constant feed at about 85 amps I think. Little wobbly.

Lastly, on the current gt500 project, my tube brace weld was not what I had hoped. I swear it looked ok to the eye, but that tie-in is a fricking joke.


Sorry it's not in the right format, but posting the goofs is a good idea. Let's all the new comers know that no matter how much practice you have, we are all still human.

 

your quite the eccentric

 

That might not be entirely accurate...

 

Your "worst" doesn't look that bad lol

 

Yea I think Im missing a lot of the bad ones lol.

 

some more of my slip ups...



here's a getterdone type... coolant line for nsx race car. 1.75 - 1.5







oh wow! found this one... very nice!

 

pretty welds are awesome but in the ends its all about strength,,, function > form

 

Whats funny is that all of the pictures posted are better than what you would pay for around here lol

 

not only better than what I would pay for here locally....

But Id be happy as hell with your guys "junk"

 

Will definitely post in this tomorrow. Just quick lurking from my phone tonight ...

 

liar....
