Awesome looking work there Tom. What are you running for a welder? Would it be ok to do that sort of work on a bucket with a small wire feed rig with .035 flux core and make a bunch of passes or should I use an arc welder?
Thanks for the compliment nedly, I am running Miller BIG 40 Diesel with a 12VS extreme, a S-22P12, and a Lincoln LN-25. On the bucket work I use Lincoln ultracore 1/16" dual shielded wire.
Tom V, cool stuff man! On that mini-ex,did you use that "weldox" that I saw in the background? If so, whats the difference in weldox and hardox? Again, awesome pics and a wicked cool truck!
Nice work Tom- that bucket looks perfect. A few questions if you don't mind.
Did you have the back of the bucket rolled and if so what does something like that cost?
How thick is the cutting edge? What did you use for replacing the side sections?
Any pics looking in the bucket, I'm curious how the corner shanks are fitted.
