I realize that my idea would be pretty hard to make, but that's not my problem
Sorry guys, I've been busy at work. I should have some progress on about a week.Any updates?
Well, I finished welding all the teeth together. I like TIG welding, but "stacked dimes"? More like smushed peas. So I decided to see if there was some kind of body filler type stuff that could take the heat of powder coating...And there is, it's USC All Metal. Pretty easy to use, just like the other kinds of filler out there and I was able to smooth out and blend in the areas that were welded.
That would look great. Maybe with an aluminum washer sandwiched between as a spacer. It would be easier to hide the welds, too. Uhh...next time?Just cause I'm curious, could you have drilled holes top and bottom and fillet welded the "teeth" in leaving the front clean? Or weld them from behind? Looks awesome either way I just wonder if it would have worked the other way.
Here you go. I hope these work for you. I haven't seen any evidence of the powder coat coming off of the filler.Can I see a couple good close ups where you used that metal filler?
Mad fab skills indeed there Granny! :-D You should be proud.
Yes, I'm still trying stuff.Good idea on the lights maybe put another set on the next inner slat?
