Would any of you welders out there be available either Tuesday or Wednesday evening next week (5/29 or 5/30) to help me in the final stage of building my rear bumper?

In all honesty, I don't see more than 30 minutes of actual setup and welding time. Im' good at prepping and fitting, just have -0- ability to weld.

Thanks!

I'll check my availability. I'm certainly not the best as there are some real good welders here. If I get the OK, then you let me know for sure if I'm chosen. 😀

It'll all be straight line welds. No curves or compound angles.

Tom,

I'll only be available Tuesday. I'd come after work. If you someone better does not volunteer, then you can decide if I'm worthy.

I would help you if I could Tom but I skipped welding class. I'm pretty good with duct tape and bailing wire. Good luck on your build.

Whats wrong with welding it on Monday ?

Tuesday Work will be treating me like a device and not a person, and Wednesday I'll be out of town.

Let me know if Monday would work for you Tom.

@ray: I don't weld nor do I have a welder to even tack.

@josh: I'm good with duct tape as well. If it were that way, there'd be no worries.

Let me get a read on my day first thing in the morning. After a holiday weekend it will be one of two extremes.

PM me your address and contact info and I'll let you know as soon as I do.

Thanks!!

I have nothing useful to add as my neighbor has a long term loan on my welder, but I had heard that a "weldor" is a person that welds and a "welder" is the machine that does the welding. Could make for easier post title sometime in the future. or not... 😀

I was thinking along those same lines, but I'm too many years removed from grammar and was too lazy to look it up.

Well, it doesn't look like it will happen this week either. Just too much time at work to get my new team through training and up to speed. I can live without a bumper for another run.

More important I get the rocker guard set up for the trip.
