Another garage project, using mostly materials on hand. The 3/4" thick steel plate came from the scrap yard. This is my new welding table. I thought the thickness of the steel would help it stay cool, but it got hotter than I expected.


I changed a few settings on my welder and beads were much better.


I'll lay down one good bead and then the next one is utter crap.


I have a long ways to go. Laying a bead on a flat piece of aluminum is one thing. When joining two pieces I can't get a bead on both at the same time.

Spring was here yesterday and supposedly again today. Temps in the high 60's. But a storm is forecast for Tuesday and middle of the weeks is looking like we are heading back into winter. I need to see if I can get some peas in the ground to start the garden.

A little improvement to the buggy today. Glass windshield that has a vent at the bottom to open up for faster running, closes for cool weather, or folds down for slow running in warm weather.



All have a great evening

Good morning guys!

Don that looks great!

I'm sitting in the waiting room at Ford. Apparently it is a common issue for the front camera washer nozel to leak on to 2020 & 2021s. So if you notice your washer fluid going down quickly...you aren't crazy!
