Ya I don’t even know what something like that is worth these days. Couple grand I suppose. 2-3k?

Oh and I’ll slam 4 bearing buddies in it too.

That’s just a cheap Flameweld 3 In 1 Plasma Cutter Welder Machine.

-50Amp Pilot Arc Plasma Cutter.
-200Amp HF TIG Welder.
-200Amp Stick Welder.

In the picture I just had the plasma cutter hooked up because I had to pop a few holes in the fender to get those eye bolts through to be able to pull that fender across to weld it.. That’s just my retractable air hose you see hooked up.

Tree branch fell on the trailer and mashed the fender so I’m fixing it. Can’t believe it bent the fender that bad as it is super heave duty fenders but it was a big branch.

Trailer has been sitting at my house for about 6 years and the deck boards were junk so I sawed a bunch of 16 foot sweet gum last weekend and I’m just about ready to paint and put boards down and oil the boards with used motor oil.
Then, I’ll put 4 new tires and I'm selling it. I’m sick of looking at it and I don’t use it. It Probobly only has 500 miles on it.

Cheap welder > no welder.

Trailers like everything else have really went up in price. I would think a trailer like that with new decking, bearing buddies, etc you could get close to what you paid for it.

Got a root in on both sides. Couple more passes and we're done.

Buddy wanted a way to get some of his elk euros off the ground. This is the second iteration. Offers some adjustment to change the angle of how it hangs

I like it. I’ve got something similar in a deer sized scale for euros at work. Bent rebar and a circle wood base from menards stained and slapped together. Not as finely tuned as yours.

Been running absolutely wide slap open the last month or so. Boss took a week off and I was supposed to have that time off too but everything that could go wrong at the closest dairy plant did go wrong, so I ended up working solo almost every day of that. Helper had switched to weekends only because he was taking a class but now he's quit to take another job. Bunch of projects going on all at once, not many pictures of any of it. But I finally have a week off of my own now so I can breathe a little.

This week's project has been piping in a COP tank with steam. We will run the water lines at some point in the future. Also had to run all the piping on the tank itself. I got the in-position tie-in done today.

And on the wilder side, here's a steam leak that required a complete plant shutdown to fix because none of the isolation valves held, so the boilers had to be shut down.
