Welding

Just wondering who else here knew how to weld. I learned this past year from my dad who has been welding for years and another friend who has his own little business fixing trucks and wheelers.

repainting trailer?

I have a 12ft dump trailer that I use for work and hauling the quad.the sides are getting pretty rusty and need taking care of. Bottom is still in great shape Cuz I have sparayed it with fluid film from day one. So I was gonna use chassis saver or por 15 but didn’t like the idea of having to spend $100+ and still have to put a top coat on for UV protection. So I found some rustoleum professional at home depot gloss black. Directions are similar to the chassis saver knock off rust and apply ( I did this today). They recommend using a primer to and I am rustoleum heavy metal. So has anyone used this stuff before? I’m going to be doing it all with a brush per the directions. I bought the best brush I could get for oil based paint. Any tricks to keep the brush marks out or tips, this is my first big painting project.

Sputtering 08 outlaw 525 s

my 08 outlaw 525 s is sputtering or breaking up at top end of each gear. is it the fuel flow? I ran some sea foam through it. I have a Yoshi exhaust RS5. maybe the jets weren’t changed for the exhaust im thinking. appreciate any opinions or guidance on this issues before I send it to the shop. And buy the way, its still a monster!!!!

Other Hobbies

Well I’m bored at work. So I thought I’d start another thread.

So with that in mind, what are some of your other hobbies. Things that aren’t necessarily ATV/Motor/outdoors related.

I’m an avid Hobby welder, DIYer, and Fledgling Blacksmith, and wood worker.

Here are a couple of pictures of some of the projects I’ve done.

8′ ramps that are conservatively rated for 3200 lbs a piece.

And my Double drum smoker.

I’ll be picking up a chainsaw mill as well as a wood lathe over the spring/summer for some live edge projects, and some turning projects that I’ve got in mind.
