    Dock Platform, Diamond Plate

    I had to make 2 of these.


    Once again they want me to use E70XX to weld the 6061 aluminum with
    The detailer needs to be slapped

    Tacked up









    Had to splice a piece in to make width, I kept it square and flat.
    Kickers to keep my angle, and strong backs to keep it flat.
    Enjoy

    Rescued from the boneyard SA-250 on a fully equipt trailer (My Wife's Explorer cries every time I hitch up)
    Trailblazer 301G (can't touch the SA-200 for stick)

    HF- 251 TIG box for the TB with a Weldcrap torch, Yes I weld aluminum
    More than a toolbox full of stuff on an F-350 that is way to small

    So assuming you built it to the prints, how did those E70XX electrodes work on that 6061-T6 Alloy?

        'hope he got a Change Order before hand (to embarass the heck out of the draftsman that obviously 'specced it) (Alway cc: the owner!)
        Plus, doesn't that make for a slippery dock surface??

          Oh no you di int!

          Could you imagine the look on the designers face if you did what he asked for, instead of what he meant to ask for!!! That would be nasty!

              Aluminum is just a different kind of steel, right?

              You'd be surprised how often I've heard that from well meaning,
              serious, educated, but sometimes-dumb-as-dirt people...

                My favorite was the guy here who swore up and down that stainless steel did not contain ANY iron
