Tank build update

rainmaker · 08-05-2005, 09:26 AM

Brian and myself worked the last two evenings getting the small tank welded up . it's done except for pressure testing which I plan to do this morning . Brian is a first class TIG welder while myself am cert. mig and stick . As far as my TIG work, after a couple of passes I wasn't as good as I remember being

So I was very grateful for Brian to assume the welding duties.

Trying again to post a few. The pressure test went fine, pumped it up to 3.25 lbs and that thing swelled up like a tick on a dog. No leaks though . Yahooooooo, one down and one to go . I'm planning on the coal tar epoxy treatment that WARTHOG suggested too.
I might be back together in time for the Atlantic beach king tourney yet.
Hopefully heres a shot of Brian.

Listen carefully to brother Warthog5... He knows of what he speaks.
