Official Fabrication & Welding Porn Photo Thread

A few of mine, though not nearly as nice as some of the other stuff in this thread.





This was for a Halloween costume. Milled from a block of hardwood. All manual, no CNC.






Parts I had to make in school. Once again, all manual milling, no CNC.


Manual work on a lathe:

noob welding question...

am I seeing different kinds of welding here? or is it all the same and what is the specific name for the welds if they are different?

[ZekeTheSneak]

So sick, My goal in life is to learn how to fabricate like this.

Pictures, pictures, pictures.

Not questions, or at least post some sort of something to go with a question.

Is this supposed to be pics of the stuff you do/have done or just nice pics?

All the welds are done with GTAW (aka TIG).

TIG welds on aluminum will look different than on stainless. For the most part, aluminum welding is done with AC, and stainless is done with DC.

Both works for me.

Pretty much all 'TIG' welding.

Something local put together in a shed.




Including engine.

12,000RPM Of Screaming V8

Through his day job, Neil had previously worked closely with Simon Longdill of Prototipo. Simon is well known in speedway circles (no pun intended) for designing and building his own 2400cc V8 engine. Neil machined the prototype engine components and crankshafts for Simon, including the original twin crank V8 engine. With Simon’s hand-built engines pumping out 390hp and, at 95kg, weighing in at a fraction of any similarly performing motors, a deal was done that would see a Synergy 2400 used in Neil’s car.
With a dummy block loaned from Simon, Neil could work out exactly where the intake trumpets, air box and ancillaries such as the dry sump tank and headers would go. The body of the car was made before the idea of the engine, so it was a tight fit to get decent intake lengths, that is the bonnet is the top of the airbox and the crank centre is 110mm from the flat floor.

My contributions. One day i'll have pictures of my finished engine bay. I know its hack work compared to the pros but i think its pretty cool none the less.
