Nice work.
Doug. Its a wheel tub !
If I was building a lowly guard I would just mig the edges and call it a day !
The cheek of some people....

Do permanent date set, and still have to calm down after the last meet and talk it over with the Mrs. but would like it to be the same first weekend in June.

Default 2015 meet

Hi Will

We just held our first meet over here, and I think everyone enjoyed it !

Even though I managed to weld about 125mm (5 inches for you imperialists) over the whole 3 days it was fantastic just to get together with like minded others.

We were fortunate to have Jamie Stonner Kebab, Nate Halabi Kebab and Adam Beany as our mentors .

They are 3 incredibly gifted metalshapers, and great guys as well !

I'll post a few pictures over the next few days, but some of the guys have put some up already.

Kerry warned me that the host won't get any work accomplished and now i see why .
Hurry up and send over the map, I wan't to be there in '15.

Take care

Johnny Awol

I'll get another Aussie to join the adventure.

So just send through the dates and a mud-map of how to get to Rock Hill.

Can't wait

Cheers John
Maybe plan your trip to SF during the time of the Santa Cruz Metal Meet?

You'd have a chance of hobnobbing with these great guys who contribute!

What did you use to hammer the edge over? Hard to tell in the photos.

Hi Marc,

Just looked up the Santa Cruz meet
What a line-up. Is the meet open to anybody and is it on each year ?

Cheers John

Hi Tim,

I just used a dinging (?) hammer to gently round the edges over a short length of 16mm rod (with the ends sanded smooth )

Once I had been around a couple of times I planished it with a slapper to even it all out

It took less than 30 minutes each side. It also pays to lightly clamp the material to ensure the material stays up against the form

If you make sure the pivot point is on centre it is an easy job

Cheers John
