Did, the 911 was made during our convo. The best part is it was one right turn exactly where I turn left to my driveway to go do the work. Tools in tow and 5 from the house!
 
Got out the super glue and went to work.

The canvas is a busted fork truck frame.

Previous weld repair by others.

Used some anti metal rods of the 5/32 variety to establish a bevel.

Little carbide work and on into the shop.
Air arc is nasty hot, loud, and basically obnoxious fun. I don't do it in the shop.
 
Little measure lots of clamps.

This weed burner and a tank of propane Des the trick.
 
Pre heat over with out comes my favorite super glue. 7018 rod.

Finished.
Turned out decent. I moved around and filled bevels in layers. Also worked about half and half to prevent pulling to bad. Ended up with a slight crown to the load side. I can live with that since the pressure will naturally try to flatten it out.


Shower and beer thirty.
 
What electrode diameter and settings?
By the coating guessing 7018. By the spatter size 1/8 to 5/32 leaning hard on 5/32.

Yeah boy! Tighten up you arc gap and keep it around 15 degrees from vertical and you'll get less spatter. Man I love some big electrodes.
