new steel barge

[SE18]

This barge is made from steel, using my new FCAW welder (not actually "new" though, picked it up off craig's for $30 including 10lb wire and helmet

the deck is made from wood. Last night I turned 4 balliards (ballards?) for it on my lathe (steel ballards)

this is first steel barge, wife thought too heavy to float but it made it ok

Here's ballards; they'll look good after rusting

Very nice SE. Something I've alway wanted to learn, and still on my bucket list, welding. Love your creativity!

That's awesome! But what is a "ballard?"

thanks, I may be spelling it wrong but it's the post things for tying up.

Darn good job and looks really real and hope it floats :cheerful:
