    Yeah, welding on a hot day makes you question your sanity. I did a bunch of cast aluminum oil tanks today, plus had to machine a bunch of prototype parts.

    BUT, 90 degrees in Santa Cruz beats 110 degrees and 90% humidity in St. Louis where I grew up. Shop doors open, music turned up, livin' the dream :)

    Yes, a broken upper A arm mount on one of them Oldsmobile S10 Blazers. All greasy as fuck, and rounded off bolt heads, a real POS. Hot as shit here too, 100 degrees, and 95 percent humidity...
     
  9. Welded for about 3 hours today 103 here. My shop at home now thats a different story. Its constantly 125+ with all of the glass blowing equipment torches and kilns running.

    I did a little in the evening after work. I was testing the new (new to me but actually freakin' old) welder. I ran a few beads with it over in a corner of the garage. No air circulating at all. It had already cooled down to about 100 by then. Frustrating mixture of heat and finding that the post flow timer and the High Frequency are both crap on the machine! Blah!

    Ok then try and blow some paint, see if that comes out any better!

    Professional Steamfitters deal with heat all the time.

    Member

    I,m here with tinman and gregaz - didn't weld yesterday, but ran my louver press for a couple of hours. 116 was the official temp here yesterday, but lots hotter in the shop! We had a break in the weather today though, it's only 107 ! Gonna finish this post and go out and weld a bit now that it's cooled down a bit. By the way, when you see a temp posted for Phoenix, remember that it's in the shade !!!

    Well, I haven’t done much welding the last couple of days, but my students have. It’s been 104 in the shop, and who knows how hot in their booths. This is when they figure out if they really want to be a welder or not. Good news is nobody complains when it is time to go in the classroom to do lecture. :D

    Got 3 of the 4 floor pans welded in today. Can't complain about the heat as it was low 80's.
