Welding. Lots of welding. I've got the support joists that cantilever out under the catwalk in place and now I'm working on the railings. It's been difficult getting all the geometry correct, but, so far, I'm right on the money. I'm doing first pass with 6013 to get deep penetration into the weld and then following up with 7018. The vertical and upside-down welds, though, are pushing my limits. And always, in the back of my mind, is the reality that these welds must hold well since they will be supporting people 30 feet up in the air.
Terry sent a new pulley down lake on the barge from Holden Village. Man, it's a big one...some 100 lbs or so of old steel. It'll work well for getting Millie, the crane, up the rest of the road and then also for a hook block for Millie when she's lifting heavy loads.
