Old mag welding

Some welding on an old Homelite and a Remington gear drive.
Sorry no before pictures, just after welding and finishing.
This Homelite had the lower spike and handle mount broke off. I
welded it back on, created the support brace that was missing
and filled the deap chain rash spot.

Other side of the Remington with many cracks. Unfortunately
cracks do not weld up as nicely as completely broke off pieces
because of the contaminates that you can't get out of the crack.

You have been busy Shaun. Your work always looks good and most
important strong. Get some paint on it and no one will know.

Thanks guys. You can really see the difference in the mag alloy
when you're welding it. That old Homelite welded so clean,
hardly a porous spot in it when finished off. Right before that
I was welding on a Stihl 046 case that just kept blowing black
soot everywhere and it was nothing but holes when I sanded it
off. I had to weld the Stihl case twice to get the finished
surface to look nice.

Anything you guys can do on mag makes me happy. = Saving stuff
for folks.
My nephew is finishing up his welding classes in HS and is being
looked at by a company friend I grew up with to be a apprentice.
I told him to try and learn about this mag welding too. ;)
He said they had to make a weld and then they bend them on some
machine to see where the metal breaks bends and if the weld
holds. Lot different then when they made us stick weld in 79-80
LOL.
