acorn Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 I started finish tig welding of the trophy tops last night and promptly ran out of shielding gas at the end of the first one. Picked up some more this morning already. Anywho pics of first 6 tacked up and one with finished welds. Picked up patina components to give them a green copper finish as well yesterday. Trophy bases and rest of the Sahuaro parts came in yesterday from Martin as well. Bunch to do still! - Aaron 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acorn Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) I finished welding up the first 6 Rebar Sahuaros last night. Looking forward to having these trophies done so I can stop worrying about getting them done in time! Btw, when are folks getting into Tucson who are coming? I am taking Friday off before the comp in order to get any last minute stuff done needed but will likely be available if you don't mind visiting while I work.

Vinnie Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I checked the fares again today, and I just can't do it right now. I was hoping there would be better news with my taxes but there was not, it was worse. Oh well. I will say that I fully expect to attend next year, unless of course my divorce is not final yet by then in which case I will take a trip off a tall building instead. Good luck, all! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
