Curious why you didn't hot dip the tongue?
And yes
Your extensive welding experience shows in the quality of the beads. Beautiful.
Well done!

notjustone @shotgunner High penetration 5/32" 6011. Great for penetrating rust, paint, galvanization. They have high conductivity and splatter a lot. But cool fast for upside down and vertical welds. Not noted for 'pretty welds' due to their aggressive penetration and explosive splatter. They burn about 4 times faster than 6013, so you can really get a lot of deep welds done in a short time. The flux is not brittle and takes a lot of humidity. 6010 and 6011 Electrodes The "60" in 6010 means 60,000 pounds' tensile strength (the ability to resist being pulled apart) per square inch. The "1" means it can be run in any position—flat, horizontal, vertical, or overhead. Both 6010 and 6011 are good electrodes. In my opinion, they are the only rods to tack with. They strike very easily and leave little slag to chip off. They also are very good when you need full penetration. They are a prime choice for welding decking, an application in which you must penetrate through the gauge metal into the joist or beam. Another advantage of these electrodes is the speed at which they burn. This makes them ideal for welding joists and bridging, especially the stiffening angle going from joist to joist for bracing. These two electrodes have enough strength to do the job and are much faster than 7018. They run great downhill passes where not a lot of penetration or structural strength is required.

The tongue needed some thought. Both design and dimension of steel on hand. And perhaps most important, the axles mounted so I could get the exact tongue height for the truck hitch. She still needs some gussets/bracing. Some straps to stop a suicide load shift in a head on collision. Strapping system. |

6011 6010 basically same rod cept the 6011 will run ac/dc where as 6010 dc only. the 10 series was more popular with the pipeline crowd so you could get 7010 and 8010 as well. the giveaway was the deep ripples produced by the 2 step forward 1 back whip (or little circles depending on who taught you lol).

Welder with always shaking hands laid down the best beads I ever saw. |

Don't forget cupholders and a rack to hold your padded selling chair, umbrella and big cash box to hold all the proceeds.. Boy, Jim, sure was a lot of work here and a big part of that was the thinking and engineering. If a guy had to pay for it all instead of doing it himself he couldn't afford it. Now you need to set up a satellite operation in the cool. non-humid mountains of Colorado and sell firepits to the people who need them even worse than Atlantans.

When you sell the business does your land go with it? Wild thought - how about a tongue on each end for quick turn around? How goes the movie industry? I can sell the land. I live on a 12 acre lot and business is on 17 acre lot. I initially bought 43 acres and sold 13 acres off. It almost paid off the remaining 12 and 17 acres in the back. The shop requirements is only 20' X 20', plus an acre for storage. Probably not sell the 17 acres Dave. Taxes are only $600/year. The movie industry freaked me out. I had signed an exclusive location lease with the giant Pinewood Studios. It has since expired. The very day Crazy Legs Productions shot on my property I got this email from Pinewood: "Hi Jim, Have you had a chance to decide if you would like to renew with Pinewood On Location? And do you have any questions I can answer? Thanks! Brittany Stone Sales Assistant" I was told that the film industry hires people to monitor social media to keep abreast of what is going on. Now I have a decision to make. Sign with them but ask for non-exclusive listing. I think they will reject the offer. I have 3 listings with Pinewood. I am Price, Price Bamboo Farm, Price loft, one more In Georgia, cool list of international listings. Check out photography: www.pinewoodgroup.com/production-servicesCheck out the Malaysia locations. Some beautiful spots on earth. Now this is how my brain works. I answered Pinewood in this fashion. Keep in mind I want to stay listed with them: "Hi Brittany I do have a question. Does Pinewood insist on an exclusive agreement ? Be aware I have little knowledge about this industry. And to be honest, a day shoot was performed here recently by a smaller film company. I hope this does not sour our relationship. I am also curious why Russell Ridge horse farm is not listed as a Georgia location anymore. I can ask Bill Russell. But that concerns me too because I put the two of you together. I hope that there was not a problem. I do have an intimate knowledge of this area and would like to connect you with other locations if that would be of any assistance. I would be glad to bring other locations to you if it would assist getting a non-exclusive listing with you guys. Guessing non-exclusive is against Pinewood’s policies... Thanks for reaching out. Jim" Wow Jim, The things we have to do to run businesses and just work in our complicated world. Good luck , one way or another. |

Blood runs cold down here Cliff. High consumption of beer has serious cooling effects. |

The 6,000 ft elevation on the valley floor where I live is so cold when holding a beer barehanded. hhehehe Our water has to come from snow melt. Even the riverbeds are cold. Thus the need for firepits, hot women and whiskey. Course we don't have that humidity y'all have in our dry air outwest. Lucky you !!

Yes.
I was explaining why I guessed 7000 series. Much easier to make a beauty bead. Expense not needed and perhaps higher tensile strength​ not good.

Took a serious whippin trying to weld that galvanize upside down. The zinc was blowing up the bead terribly. That is solely the reason for the angle iron additions, to create horizontal and vertical welds. The zinc is so thick it plugs up the grinding wheel in 60 seconds. Difficult to remove such a thick galvanize. So the upside down thing was not worth trying. The zinc effected the horizontals and verticals very little. |

Hate it when I have to weld over galvanizing. I feel your pain. Splatter chatter.

Hate it when I have to weld over galvanizing. I feel your pain. Splatter chatter. The posts were old steel, deeply pitted. For some reason the zinc attached to it like 1/16" thick. Very difficult to remove for vertical and upside down welds. Never had it plug up grinding wheels so fast. The high conductivity 6011 rods added to the high conductivity zinc really made an explosive arc. |

Not ideal but better that blown out welds from boiling zinc. |

Makes beautiful welds though. The fumes from zinc is an issue too. Career welders should really avoid it. I think it has accumulative effects. Will make you sick to your stomach. u s e f a n |

Pulled like a charm. Gentle load. Load/unload easy. Still not finished. Load/unload side must have a post or two removed and then reinforced. running lights  |
