Welding cost 2

I took the "equipment" comment a different way I don't think he meant welding equipment.

Glad I held back bud, I was about to turn into a big weenie! LOL

I think it's pretty freakin ugly. How many hours would it take for it to give you a headache, if you lived across the street??

It's not my thing either. But I sure appreciate the artistic / fabrication skills it took to build it. With out a blue print, and material take off list I wouldn't know where to start.

5030 and Mark have a history.

In this case.......no.

I was referring to his equipment......:laughing:

No politics intended. Just fun intended.....

Far as my 'history' is concerned, I'm sticking to it, just not on this thread........I don't like Chinese import welders, plasma cutters or anything else when quality domestic counterparts are readily available. Why prostitute the American worker for the sake of a few pennies. That lost job could be yours. 'nuff said on that.

On a better note....I like the man gate next to the dragon and take note that all the tubular uprights are capped, ground and polished. The craftsman had plenty of time on his hands as evidenced by the also stainless arch over the doorway in the background.

It (gate) had to be welded in a shop inside somewhere and assembled on site. I can't fathom fabbing that without some type of layout and prints to work from.

The girl is another story.........:licking:

600-700 man hours...with the right equipment.

Is that just weld time, or does that include making jigs and setup time?:laughing:

If the girl is around, it may take longer....

 

[Mark @ Everlast]

No, jigs and set up time...and a lot of polishing.

I'm willing to make a guess, however I'll need to get a look from the backside first.

ShieldArc, look at what you've done to all these guys... next time you'll have to post some better pics. LOL

Here is the gate builder's web site, maybe there are some better pictures of the eye candy on there!
And I agree with Ductape, you can't build anything without seeing the backside too.:laughing:
