This was fun. Can’t wait to see what the next one is.
Here's the dedicated channel for questions to make sure we don't miss anyone! Leave your questions here. If you'd like to ask a specific instructor, use the '@' feature. For example, type '@jody collier' followed by your question. That will notify the instructor directly. The attached image shows what it looks like if you were to tag jody.--This feature also works on videos! So if you have a question about a specific video, be sure to tag the instructor in the comments of that video.--We will be sure to check this thread for general questions as well! Thanks to Aaron Laughlin for prompting this new thread.

Finished setting up the MM255, now that the spool gun finally arrived. While waiting for it, I added a cable trough off the side of the platform to keep the spool gun cables secure and out of the way. Also removed the entire storage shelf, and took it out to my buddies powder coat shop, and they shot it in satin black to match the black factory parts on the cart. Real happy with it. Aluminum on the left side, and steel on the right.

Rolling ring on a ready mix truck was cracking off. I ground it out then used a 6010 to dig through the contaminants/water inside the Chanel then capped it with 7018.

Here are some teeth in a large gear I had to weld up and grind back. The machine was timed to this position and was breaking the teeth out. I made a template and hand grinded the welds back down. It’s not perfect but they are still running this and this repair was 4 years ago.

Broken bolts in a manitou trailer forklift. I used to use a nickel 99 rod to get these out because it wouldn’t run into the threads easily but now I use 309 l stainless rods. They work a million times better.
