thanks, the first sensor is a narrowband for the original Bosch engine management, the second one is a Wideband. The narrowband sensor is a universal replacement so i had to splice the connector to it.

A small production job I did last week.
Nothing really special other than I had a .005'' tolerance to keep. Basically turn down a 1/4 square rod and weld a washer on top.
Because of the tolerances, I built a little jig to help locate and hold the assembly for welding.
Inserting the shaft .
Inserting the washer.
Clamped in place and ready for a plug weld with yet another little fixture.
Extraction
Ready for the platers.

Great setup there. Fun stuff to make your own jigs and what not.

Repairing a cracked flexi section on a badly-made stainless steel Aston Martin DB6 exhaust system.
Clamped in the vice:
Tin foil to seal the pipe for back-purging:
The other end sealed with a small exit vent hole:
My welds:
I may've neglected the tell the owner i've only had about 12 hours of TIG practice.. Came out better than i expected!

While purging try 2" masking tape, and make sure the purge out is higher then the in.

As a retired airline captain (AA) & former Naval Aviator (A-7E) I can appreciate the role of quality parts. Nice jigs too!

damn Moose... you get all the nice cars to work on! The weld looks pretty damn good IMHO for just starting out with the new welder.

My job is hugely overrated...
Thanks for the kind works, need more practice but i'm getting there. That flexi section is made of coiled hollow tube, the walls of the tube are 7.8 thou.. Welding at 14A...

Nice! What did you make the wheels out of?
Sounds like moose and I are about in the same boat when it comes to tig. I recently got my diversion up and running and practiced for an hour before starting my welding cart.
originally I was going to install some drawers from an old busted craftsman box on the bottom, but I came across a good deal on the hobart. I sized the cart large enough because of that reason...but I miscalculated the actually diameter of the bottles and didnt leave enough clearance. I managed to spread the 2 rear rails far enough to get both bottles in there but its a snug fit. Im probably going to trim the inside of the rails in half just so I have a little clearance in there. Tig pedal fits under the welder and out of the way.
Then by chance, I noticed an old folding shelf hanging on the side of another old craftsman box and it fit the cart perfect just by bending the top rail out. I need to flatten and smooth it out a little more but I through it up there with a clamp just to get an idea.
I still need to mock up a handle so I quit grabbing the diversion to roll it, along with all the extras like a helmet hanger, cord/hose hangers, filler rod storage, and I would like a small drawer of some sort to keep consumables and extra parts. Im also cooking up an extendable articulating tig torch holder so I always have a place to set it. Im also going to hang an extinguisher off the back somewhere
EDIT - here is the original link to the design thread of the cart. As you can see I changed it a little as I went

Turning my 1981 yamaha from a hill limb / tracker o a hard tail bobber
they are 6" wide cuts of 12" pipe, with 1/2" stainless steel pipe for spokes
A friend stopped by the shop with his broken mower deck, this is how my projects get side tracked.
Cleaned the surface, did a little grinding and started tacking it in spots. I won't show the completed work because other than a tack weld I can't get the HF welder to work to save my life ( lay a bead).
The only saving grace is it's another friends welder.

I whacked this together today to burn through my last 200 lbs of Argon......
A random pointless thing....
You could take it to the Shooting Range and use it as a target. I bet a .22 would make it jump pretty high!

Did you add any reinforcements?
I try to add small steel plate pieces when the workpiece allows (clearance issues, mostly) so that the crack does not reappear again. (that was where it broke the first time, plus now it has gotten more brittle in the HAZ)
But, "ya got 'er done"!

A bit of tig welding on Alu. last week.
My machine is a 300amp P&H welder from the sixties. It's actually Lindy guts inside.
I sure miss my Miller sincrowawe 350. Now that was a machine!
I could make my welds a little prettier with it. But still not ZT quality.
2x2 x 1/8 6061 tubing, 1/8 5356 filler rod.
Tube to 1/4'' plate.

I dunno Claude, those look pretty good to me. I wish I could lay down beads that look that good.

A note on your repair job on his mower deck. When steel cracks it is good practice to drill a hole at the ends of the crack to prevent the crack from spreading after it is repaired. Also a good idea to add a piece of plate lapped over the area for reinforcement if possible.

Good info. To expand on this one more step, when placing a piece over the crack radius the corners. A sharp 90 degree corner is more likely to create a stress riser than a long radiused one.
Mike.
this is the welder cart I made earlier this year. I converted my air cooled tig welder to water cooled, to save floor space, I made this one more like a dolly.
currently it has an 80cf Argon tank, it will hold a 300cf tank with the tank bracket removed. when it's rested, it sits on the tray with tank and water cooler, there's no weight on the wheels, so it's plenty steady.
