Re: "Geronimo" 54' 3100 LS built in PA
2-12 Today would not let my nose or toes warm up. But I got a few hours in Wrapping up some patches. Pic really doesn't show much, but there was a lot more to the day. I cut out the stock tabs in the floor for the pedals and filled them, started final welding the column relocation. then for this floor patch, the part that the cab mounts goes through, I just welded two big washers on the back side to create the "factory" recess that is there and to give it strength.
I got some new gear in, which I'm always struggling to buy new tools or essentials. The Uvex mask is ok, little brittle but for now its clear so I can actually see. Funny thing is I noticed it has a mark on the inside "HONEYWELL" that factory is next town over from me, so be kinda cool if that is where the mask was made. I also live 30 minutes from the channel lock factory.
The safety glass by Hobart are awesome. I use these under my weld helmet and Uvex helmet. They are "fog" proof, which for the most part are, though it was so cold today I was getting some fog/condensation on everything. I highly recommend the glasses, super cheap. The shade 5 glasses def are not good for welding, I got them for the plasma so hopefully they work ok. The magnet, I didn't realize was a mini, I paid like 20 bucks for it, so not the best investment for a pauper like myself. But... atleast I have one more decent tool.
