why is this in the pickup lounge you ask? read on...
installing pickups and working on friends guitars wouldnt have happened, if it wasnt for a purchase of a hotrails pup from brians house of music over a year and a half ago. i ended up replacing all of the pups in my (only electric at the time) strat. then i helped friends out with their guits.
moving on.....
i had been working in the x-ray department of a titanium foundry for about two years. i noticed that a job posting had been put up for the welding department. all the welding experience i had was in metal shop (high school) over 10 years ago. i didnt think i could still weld but i bid into the job anyway. i soon realized that tig welding was very close to the coordination of soldering. not exactly, but close. so i got the job because the dudes in the front office liked my work.
this is something i made while messing around with "bead-building." the chamber had a leak in it. titanium isnt sopposed to be colored like that. its colored due to oxygen contamination. i think it looks "cool."
