Building some new modular carts at work today #steelworker #fabricator
Work table setup complete! Ahhh… much better. This will be more conducive to making stuff. Once I get it cleaned up and move all the stuff into it, it’ll b really nice.😊 #handmade #workshop #maker #fabricator #mastoart

Former President Donald Trump planned to spend the hours ahead of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate campaigning in Wisconsin. Trump is scheduled to stop in a critical Democratic county where he’s never been before that is crucial to Democrat Kamala Harris’ hopes for winning the key battleground state. Trump was to appear at a manufacturing facility in Waunakee, a suburb of Wisconsin’s capital city of Madison in the Democratic stronghold of Dane County. Later on Tuesday, Trump planned to hold an event at a museum in Milwaukee. Trump was expected to focus his comments in Wisconsin on the economy. Trump must cut into the large Democratic majority in Dane County to win statewide.

Wow, what a mountain we had to climb to get this far. We are finally ready for the test ride tomorrow! We had to adjust the brackets that the shocks mount to, replace the LCD readout which our client screwed up to add to our workload, and hard weld the frame to the bike. Then we hooked up the batteries and controllers to test the whole thing and make sure everything worked.

Got the battery box problem sorted out, tacked it to the frame then removed the wheels and hard welded the battery box frame and other elements that I had tack welded previously. After that I cleaned up the welds and I then made a grain-free but gluten-full pizza for the crew's lunch.

A great day of fabrication and welding!

We started mocking up the beetle. I dyed and finished the stage.

Took it for a test trot. It was awkward moving while having to hold it stooped over. Would have been better to harness up Mateo and have him pull it.

Next we need to hard weld the mounts, drill the holes for the right side shock, and fix a wiring issue that affects the throttle function. It was working fine until it wasn't.

We made the mounts for the wheels and got the componets tack welded to the frame and itself. We also made the mounting points for the shocks from angle iron. #fabrication #fabricating #fabricator #welding #welder
Live action CGI of me welding. And, yes, I do my own stunts.
