Welding ?

[Tony Nitrous]

This was in use and only came to light when it was stripped down
and cleaned off to be re-coated.....

Trike frame in the UK.
Was being used by the guy's wife,
found when it was stripped down and sandblasted.

It shits me how hard it is to get frame work past the rta but here is a perfect picture of why it should be........

So it didn't break, so what's the problem? :cool:

[Mishdog20]

It proves just how strong a shit weld can really be. The fact that it didnt break..

[TonyOW31]

Used to see lots of that when I worked on choppers regularly, cover it with a bit of filler, some nice paint and she's all good.
What you can't see can't hurt you:rolleyes:

[Mr Ed]

Excuse my ignorance but aren't there something like progress checks or stage checks to get signed off before bogging or painting? The "weld" will most likely be covered with something eventually so how can anyone verify the integrity? As I said earlier, bit new to bike fabrication. Let the piss taking begin. Lol.

[Redmohawk]

Ed you'd be supprised what passes for ok on the roads in parts of Europe , even here in Aus dodgie bikes are about (just look at some of my heaps)

[Mr Ed]

Lol, have to take your word for what yours are like Red. Then again, different states have different rules. I'm guessing if the frame number matches the paperwork then you're good to go. Sounds like the start of another thread, let's not go there. Just stay away from welders with glad wrap masks, muppets.

Holy shit! That guy must not only not have welded before, but must never have seen another weld even. Fuckin' scary!

[K6Thou]

Holy shit! That guy must not only not have welded before, but must never have seen another weld even. Fuckin' scary!Either that or just didn't care... Some of the bird shit I see the 'leading hand' boiley at work do is unreal, kinda scary as they also get him to weld lifting gear every now and then.

[Redmohawk]

I drop over n look over some welding of armour plate to see stuff I woulnt be happy with the bloke responsable for it, quote "welder from the old country" "My father and grandfather were welders and so am I" Me "I'm not riding in that fucker"

[Snake_Doctor]

"NO NO Guys you have it all wrong thats the new wiggles Welding method, are you not up to speed on the new methods.
How you do it is stand about a foot away and close one eye and squint, then wave the electrode at it.

wa la !!!!! all done and dusted. come one guys get with the latest.!!"



and if you believe that I have a lovely second hand bridge to sell you only used on sundays by an old lady.;)

[Hillsy]

Just as an aside, it looks to me like it was done with a flux core wire feed with the wire speed too high and the amperage too low. There's a lot of metal build up which you don't get so much of with a stick.

Kinda hard to tell though with all the grinding it's had.

[ozzy1100]

i recon stick by the shot of the flat cross bit has weld on both sides from one run but a miss between clasic noob stick
but could be wrong lol
