Flickr changed its format and this site's new format is different for posting pics, and I don't feel like messing with it tonight.

I've got a 1198 S as my screen saver right now. We watched a program on the company a few weeks back, and I think the bikes are just beautiful.

So here is my take on it. It's this week's YOTC, done a little early, so it won't be listed until Thursday. Trying to stay ahead of the game with the new job, looks like I'm gonna be putting in a lot of hours.

A Triumph chopper







At MCC, practicing for the certs tomorrow. I was using this super slick machine Miller use to make called the Aerowave, it's supposed to be the rolls royce of tig machines. But we were trouble shooting it all morning. For whatever reason I couldn't get a decent bead, no arc control, burnt beads, it was just bad news. My first guess was bad gas, but we went through and messed with everything else first. It turns out it was the gas :lol: They got a shipment in a day or so ago and it looks like all 15 bottles were contaminated. It welded mild and aluminum fine(although I was having arc control issues on .040 aluminum, and this is probably why), but the SS looked burnt and bad.

This is a nice picture of it. Far right is with the bad argon. The middle bead is when we tried a bottle left over from the last shipment, and the far left is the new gas.



So then I had to take it for a test drive :D

 
I guess someone in the night class was trying to show off his knowledge and was explaining to someone else that "this weld was done by hand, and these two were obviously done by a machine", using that piece above with the good gas/bad gas welds :lol:
 
a few different style nails, an eye bolt, cap bolts, a couple allen wrenches, tig rod, fuel line, steel tubing, some random clip, the tip of a bolt, and a piece of scrap sheet metal. I threw it all in a box and shook it up, and this dropped out:




 
So...I've been a little busy. Working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, and getting out to my shop to do my thing.

Here is last week's YOTC, Full Metal Jacket:





I Also did this piece for Quick86 and his now wife for their wedding cake table :D :





Then I had to do an art bra for this year's Bras for a Cause in Royal Oak: http://www.brasforacausemichigan.com/Site/Home.html Come on down and buy it!







And this week's YOTC, "MotoHawk", the second to last bike for this project.
