I just copied the pic from weldingweb.
Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

Good god, Mick. That first picture you posted reminds me of a bumper repair I did. The guy had welded it JUST like that picture and ACTUALLY PULLED SOMETHING WITH IT! I was mad when I saw it, and made him let me grind it out and weld it in right. His exhaust looked the same too, only it was about three inches wide and a quarter inch thick. That kind of thing kinda makes me sick.

Good to see some quality work from inside a nuclear reactor power plant for a change. Where is it, so I'll know not to visit.AKweldshop wrote:

I'll start with, "This was not me!" and "This was not done here!" You'll note many comments scrawled on the piece, by people who would be deeply ashamed of a result like that.jlfxdwg wrote: Found this on a trailer at work. Scoliosis of the weld. OMG. Let the comments roll in. Steve, please reply.
A study of the backside, thanks to sugaring and lack of penetration, shows this is the result of a nightmare fit-up, patched with a nightmare repair consisting of an over-sized wedge of material jammed in and buried under the mess in the picture.
This is yet another example of the turds we polish every day. This was cut out, and done right. (We buy turd-polish in 55-gallon drums.)
If you've not figured it out yet, jlfxdwg works at the same place I do. It would be inappropriate for me to say more, so I'll leave it to him to use the "Member Introduction" section, or not, and share what he feels comfortable with.

DeepSouthWelder,
I appreciate the fails you've shown.
I should have emphasized, the weld I commented on was in liquid hydrogen service...
Admittedly, it was on the vent side, but this is NOT a service you put rookie welders on.

You've seen the Toyota commercial where they use a 50 foot chain, and chain up to a big tree stump. By the time the chain is tight, he's doing about 15 MPH. The stump violently leaps out of the ground. THAT AIN'T REAL!

I had a guy borrow a smoker from me, a very heavy one, and when he came to get it he didn't have a hitch, just a bumper pull, and I told him he was going to bend his bumper, he said no problem and left...when he brought it back his bumper was bent, not as bad as Johns picture but bad. Now he is crying that he has to buy a new bumper. I warned him...I should have just handed him his "sign".

Okay, now I kind-of want to do one like that.
Not actually hook it up that way, of course, but put all that crap on it so it "LOOKS" like that's how it's held on.
Just to see people's reactions. Especially when I'm pulling something like a yard of creek gravel.

Right on! One of my 'favorite' things that folks tell me is "it don't look good, but it will hold". Makes me want to pull out eyeballs.GWD wrote:Alright, who gave you the photo and threw me under the bus?
I just need a little more practice. Plus, the weld was "out of position". And it held!!! No problem, man.

When I used to do a lot of artsy work, I would often add things like wire wraps to hide welds; which is what was really holding the structure together!
Great idea for some laughs, Steve! But I doubt it will enhance any side business you want to generate!
