Discouraged no way , Definitely gotta play with this sil bronze. We get what we put in, on this one we cut the part and slapped it together. It's all good. 👍

Ok , to be honest after laying out the cardboard cad, I I thought this was gonna look sharp, then I started matching up the and and cutting things out, next thing I knew I was squeezing and tacking, beating and welding. lol , it really was a fun ,easy and affordable project to create . Learned a bit about fit up, chill blocks (used a 3x3 aluminum angle to weld all panels) filled gaps with silicone bronze., and best of all its was done with my daughter, she actually engineered the whole thing, gave me a sketch and we work together to build it.
Question
1) silicone bronze don’t work on dirty steel right?
2) what the quickest way to clean off the old peel on stainless steel, you know the protective cover.
3) does the sili bronze filller flow like mud, or was I completely doing it wrong
Happy holidays

Hi Shaun, the slip roller was used to bend four 1/8 rods kinda semetrical, I wanted to make a cylinder for the tree insert, but decided to just use a piece of pipe. I posted the end result, but it seems like it did not post. I try to post shortly. Thank for the feed back, for future reference I want learn how to lay out exact cone shapes, and circles for burner refractory pours .( concrete forms)

I hope to stay in contact with you later.

Brad Goodman Matt Hayden you guys ever fabricated with a slip roller, if so can you share your experience.
Allso, working plate and sheet metal is so different, especially with out a sheer, if you wanted to cut multiple small shapes with accuracy, what method would you recommend.
I'm trying to make a hoilday tree topper star out of 18 Guage, and 6 " cut off wheel. Let just say I taught my daughter the Importance of making the part match the template.
Anyhow I hope I get to post it.
Happy holidays

Look for something lightweight , easy to find replacement clear lens, and dual use for grinding and welding.

I’d recommend the huntman 490p, for about 80 bucks, you probably already got your heart set for a fancy shiny hood. So stick to light weight.

Good luck.

Drilling through these Stainless Steel fittings was a breeze with this drill press. 5/16 drill thru 1/4 stainless steel compression fittings.

Fun little project, piping for Instrumentation air measurements. 8 pipe , 150 lb mating flange welded with 316/316L -16 1/8 rod smaw . 110 amps DC + 3 pass. Never really ran stainless stick, but I always heard the the slag has a tendency to pop off at you, the funny thing is the slag keeps popping even after you clean the weld, kind like jumping beans. Was able to find a small box rod on the store shelf for about 115 bucks.
