Finished up the car that got the header, but I was in the zone working and forgot to snap pics of anything in the car
Here's the couple I did snag
3" to 2.5" downpipe
Dual tip was made out of a 2.5" 180* bend. The tip was also tucked up 1/2" or so after the pic.

i don't think so, cup walking usally has a different look to it. looks free hand to me. i went to welding school when i was 18 in the navy. i don't do it for a living anymore, but i have to admit it kept food on the table more than a few times.
nice looking fab work.

Cuts...
Did you use a cold saw for the cuts? If so what speed? They look perfect...

Nope, all freehand drop by drop. Butt welds on the header pipes are the only ones I lay wire weld. I still need to work on that more though.....

Thanks! But nope, just a very old and beat up vertical bandsaw with a 12" disc sander to clean it up.

Haha, something like that. I'll work on anything to pay the bills; I just happen to be the only guy in a 500+ mile radius that tunes up tdi's so that keeps me very busy. I just started on a very fun non vw project today actually; I present.....
The log splitter from hell! Muahhahahhaha
6"x40" ram, 18hp flat twin briggs, 24gpm 2 stage pump, and about 1000lbs of steel haha. It's going to have a log lift and at least a 4 way wedge on the end. It will be a horizontal only trailer unit when all done. There's a 3500lb torsion axle hiding on the other side of the beam. I overbuild the fook out of everything so this should fit in well

Sounds like a plan!!! Here's one that Dad and I built up a few years ago. It's got an 8-way split, hydraulic log lift, and the 6-way wedges are on another hydraulic cylinder so you can raise and lower to center in the log if you want.
Not the best pics, but these few might give you some ideas.

the cobalt exh looks fused..are ya back purging for strength?
the cup walking question wasnt if you were doing it as much as why arent you. i do aeseptic food grade welding and we purge and cup walk almost everything now..its the ''new'' standard for food plants i think..but it looks really cool on stacks and exhaust
yer stuff looks real good tho...most of what ya see on these truck forums looks like someone blew thier nose on it

Yup, I fusion weld all butt joints in .065" 304SS tube. Looks better, faster to weld, and more than strong enough for exhaust tubing. Oh yeah, it's all back purged.
I've never actually had "formal" tig welding instruction from a professional so I've never seen the cup walking technique demonstrated. I took an advanced tig welding class but the teacher was an absolute douche who knew nothing but stick welding. The class was a waste of money to say the least.
Would you care to explain how it's done? I'm always up for learning new things.

Holy crap! That makes what I'm doing look like a toothpick maker. Where in the hell do you cut logs that big haha? The biggest I think I've ever cut around here is about 30".

I normally do, but I apparently slipped on the habit there. If I remember right, that was the last weld of the project done at about 4am after a 16 hour day and a 6 pack haha. I think "zombie" was a good description of the mindset at that point .
Had a some time to work on the splitter over the weekend and made some good progress. Oil tank, fuel tank, and battery tray are getting bent up tomorrow. Oil tank will be a steel 25 gal triangle to match the frame on the front of the frame and fuel tank will be 10 gal aluminum.
