Welding in Bike Shop

Nice work! My welder is having a Coke.

That is SO cool!

Great job

Nice effect! I like the hot steel glow and fade!  It must be a chopper if frame welding is going on...

I am not sure I can post a video, but I added welding to the Deuce Bike shop kit.

 

Awesome scene!

Andre.

Outstanding! That scene is inspirational ..... I want to do that!

Evan Designs   http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/ offers a very reasonable welding LED kit for such uses.

I have one in a building and another on a track repair diorama. Dave G.

That's a good "action" detail !

Very nice and great Idea.

Very cool idea!!

The red hot glow after the weld made me laugh, and I had to re-watch it.

I knew there was something missing in the other welding scenes I've watched .

Definitely a winner

Now, How to add a wisp of smoke?

  Seeing through a welding mask is hard till the arc is struck. With a bright work light, you can barely see to start a weld, (just barely, but it helps) Maybe he needs a work lamp too?

Or a Chiropractor... for the sore neck from repeatedly head flipping his "bucket*" down all day.

I wish I had know, I tried to order this on-line and it took three tries before I found this board.  I will post who it was once my wife digs out the bill. She watches what I spend like a hawk,

OK, like I said, I tried 3 other sources before finding this on Micro-Mark,

83648 ARC WELDER CIRCUIT 1 $35.95

I went back there to look for it, and unfortunately it is not there any longer.

The instruction that came with the circuit board had an address of the manufacture:

I did modify the White LED to be brighter, but it should work fine as is.

I used a pair of 5 mm high intensity LEDs on the one I made - one white and one blue.

It seemed to add something.

Cheers

Green if they weld on aluminum

Yep. 

Welding Kit is $6 from Evan Design. They are also OGR Forum sponsors. Good people.

Wow, really good lighting effects!
