Ain’t that right Frank?

Todays fabrication efforts look like they went a little better than yesterdays.

I’m actually kinda proud of myself for taking a piece of flat plate,

And doing this with it.

Not too bad for a rookie.

It was a long battle but I finally won.

I knew that I was using a lot of wire on that little welder and when I got done with the last weld, I opened up to see how much was left. There was none on the spool and about an inch and a half still pinched between the drive rollers.

Perfect timing.

I have literally been going basically non stop since Friday after work and I finally got done and everything put away at 7:30 this evening.

For some reason the damn drive belt jumped off again when I pulled into the driveway and shut the thing off but it only took me a minute to get it back on. More investigation will be required to address that issue but right now I am wiped the fuck out.

So for now, I can mow the lawn again but I am still going to either find another mower deck or another mower all together.

Of course I still have three thousand little projects and tasks that need doing but at least the pressure of off for this issue.
