GA , bolting all the yeller together did take a bit of time working here and there . But I think the Mules new ride is ready to take out of the garage finally .. I think it’s been close to a year ... I think the bottom paint 🎨 s probably cured by now so I guess it’s safe to un turtle it . That’s...
Hope everyone is having a nice Memorial Day weekend . Let us not forget the sacrifice our armed forces have done for us in the past present and future .
Drove around the backside of the big blue store today ... They had lumber stacked to the roof all the way around the building .. Inside the racks were pretty much filled .. Walked out with 4 sheets of 1/2" 4 ply sheathing and 300 bucks lighter in my back pocket ..This is ridiculous .....

when things get clamped yo something round they like to spin...
Yeah a MIG is on the list for sure .
Everyone seems to say they are easier to weld with . I still want to get halfway decent at stick welding ..Quite gubbery but I don’t think the coupler is going anywhere .
I’ll hit it with the grinder and call it good .LOL !
Slow progress arch ...
Doing my best to weld all the parts and pieces on to the new steel tube . I don’t have a son in law that welds anymore so It’s my time to learn . Not the prettiest but strong I think .. I need to decide how I should fasten the coupler to the tube . Just bolt it or weld...
