Buckrancher, I have a question. When you weld stainless do you get discoloration?

And if so how did you polish it off? Just buffing, or is there a secret wepon?

Great talent and amazing skills!

And just think this :D could surive for many decades, long after most :USA: rust back to earth!

I'am a big fan of your work!

Keep the good stuff comming!

:wh: HORSEFEATHERS!

Thank you

Being that everything stainless is Tig welded the discoloration area is small

and close to the weld a regular foam sanding sponge will remove it

I had decided to use a one direction sanded finish(brushed) on all the stainless as it hides imperfections and is much easier than trying to polish to a mirror finish

(as I do not have large buffing wheels)

At first I was going to use a stock steering wheel but for some reason I

could not leave it be.So after some thought this is what I did. I bought

some rtv silicone rubber moldmaking compound and some black casting

resin

First thing was to make a mold from a good steering wheel

Next I made a new center hub and spokes with some engraveing

100_3943.jpg

At this point I cut plastic grip off the old wheel at the joint and sawed the old hub and spokes out of the steering wheel also whipped up a fixture to hold everything

for welding in the new center

100_3960.jpg

new hub and spokes welded in I did this with my mig and stainless wire

100_3961.jpg

once the new stainless pieces were welded in I recast the spoke joint

100_3962.jpg

All recast you can see the pouring sprues sticking up

100_3963.jpg

Done removed the sprues sanded smooth and painted with krylon fusion gloss black

bottom side I used brass to pin the spokes in the hub

Guess I'll be the one to ask, when casting your steering wheel, what the heck was the crayon for? Just filling the hole where your poured the resin in? :D
