The Doc is in

Al is a top notch guy, done deals with him a few times, always good results. I was a welder myself and I would have taken offense if someone would have questioned my ability. I am sure Al would have said he couldn't do the job if he felt it was beyond his ability, obviously it was not.

Thank you.

I wasn't offended at all. I can't stack dimes like the other guy, he's got some real talent.

I'm not competitive like some here. I did the job as a friend and for a friend. I concentrated on no porosity and not pretty beads, although they are a side effect of a good sound weldment-more than just pretty.

My rough cut was done for the reason just as Shawn said, I wanted to make sure I was sending Brett something useable.

That's really it. I had fun seeing what I could do and how it would work. I have a ton of 4047 now.

Some time ago I sent a couple of Pistons to Al to tig up for me and a few weeks ago he sent them back.
First off Al does incredible work, he got excellent penetration and didn't burn through at all.
Great Job Al! I hope to do some more work with you in the near future.

Al roughed these down before sending them back. Here is the 395 piston when it showed up.

Here's the 395 piston in the lathe....

Finished product.......I may have to turn down the diameter a tad more but I'll check all that before this next 395 goes together.

I'll add more to the thread once this build begins.

Then tig would come easy to you Jake. It's like electric oxyacetylene welding, pretty much.
