As mentioned before i work in a steel shop, we manufacture trailers, and truck decks and do all sorts of custom work transport related. I've only been welding for a year now (2nd year apprentice), but i've learned so much, and I wouldn't trade my job for anything else lol Anyways, i built a 24' highboy trailer on a set of 8,000 lb axles.. It's not my first trailer, i have done a 16' car hauler, two 18' equipment haulers and my first trailer was a little dickass 4x10 lol. Pretty slick eh?

Yep that's me lol

pretty level crossmembers eh?

few weld shots, we run the wire

Fabbing with steel is one of my favorite things but I bought a new Miller 210 with a spool gun a few months ago and now I can't seem to stop building aluminum jet-boats. Nice work there man.

We do aluminum in our shop with a spooler, it's tricky to weld it cause your puddle tends to undercut joints fairly quickly lol

Yep. I been at it for a few decades though. This 211 is sweet compared to the old Cobra-matic but hey that one still welds awsome too. I weld all my steel with an older Millermatic 35 for wire or my Lincoln 250 diesel for stick.
