This was a test. Someone asked if I could laser an Emerald. I ordered a small cheap rough cut emerald and it worked. This is before cleaning.
Knocked out a quick brass keychain for a friend. After using lasers for 6+ years you’d think it would get old. It doesn’t. This is a fiber laser capable of permanently marking a variety of metals, plastics, and stones. Love this machine. If you have questions don’t hesitate to ask. I love talking about my lasers. #laser #fiberlaser #custommade #customgift
Here’s everyone and a few bonus pics. Let me know if you are in this but missed being posted over the past few weeks. Comment if your in this or recognize someone. #makercamp2021 #powdercoating #powdercoatingclass #slideshow
Took some time today to clean my favorite tool. #langmuirpro combined with my #htpplasmacutter and it’s money in the bank. Helping @themakerlife cut some aluminum for the first time later today and I wanted to make sure I had the right fluid in the table. Plasma Green 9010 prevents combustible gasses from building up. #plasmatable #langmuirsystems #langmuircrossfirepro #metalfab
Sound on. 🔊 went with @j_grosklags and @emilygrosklags to the Athens Botanical Gardens. We saw about 20% of it, but the stainless gate towards the end really caught me eye. It was absolutely a work of art. #metalart #metalsculptures #stainlesssteel #functionalart #metalsculpture
Look what just showed up in the Mail Box. This is one of the most beautiful coffee scoops I’ve ever seen. Stainless scoop, brass rivets and wrought iron handle from a fence that once surrounded a historic cemetery in Auburn, NY #blacksmithing #swag #magnets #3dprinting #coffeescoop #coffeelover
Built this massive fire pit from a kit. Sold by Richard @42fabdesign Pretty sure ManCrafting gives you a discount. I am guessing we welded this up 3 years ago. A lot of welding practice and years of backyard relaxation. #firepit #htpwelders #usaweld #42fab #migwelding
I suppose it would be appropriate to post a video of me trying out a different Torch and using a pressure sensitive switch vs a foot pedal. It took a little while to get the feel of it, but I was getting there. I can definitely see why this would be handy. I’ve seen many situations where not having a foot pedal to control the amperage would make life so much easier.

Man I love these hats. Thanks to Josh for amazing work. @rukuswoodshop I wear two of them daily and the other seven have been spoken for. I already need to reorder. 🤷🏻♂️ #swag #logowear #logogift #make #maker #leather #truckerhats
MiG Monday Playing with the HTP ProPulse 220 MTS. This was the first day I switched everything out to try the aluminum gun on this machine.

I hope all of you are enjoying a day off. Today I’ve been watching trees I planted 20+ years ago getting cut down. Yesterday this is what my day looked like @georgiatradeschool . #georgiatradeschool #springbreak #goodfriday #welding #welder #tig #mig #stick #fcaw #smaw #gtaw
His face says it all. Another believer. This helmet is simply amazing. #optrel #welding #weldinghelmet #weldinghelmets #safety #alldaycomfort

Brought my 16yo to @georgiatradeschool on Friday. I’m currently training on TIG so she got to try that out. She had an absolute blast. If you have kids and they are struggling to find something to make a career of expose them to as many jobs as possible. Not every kid will thrive in a college environment and a lot of kids leave college with crazy amounts of debt. Trade School on the other hand is typically shorter. You learn the actual processes you’ll take into the workforce and the classes are less than most kids invest in a semester of college. I’ve been in class 8 weeks and all of the kids leaving the program ahead of me have left with jobs. Not just jobs but really good paying jobs. #welding #welder #make #trades #georgiatradeschool #buildyourfuture #weldlikeagirl
So I needed to pick up a bottle of 90/10 this week. Imagine my surprise when two different locations of welding suppliers wouldn’t sell me a bottle the size I already own. I bought the Argon bottle on the left just a year ago. Anyone else having this issue? I don’t get why you can rent a larger bottle, but not buy. Anyone have insight? #weld #welder #diy #howto #make #metalfabrication
