Air Stream Gets a Replacement Coupler - Customer Gets to Go Camping!
Bay Area Air Stream called me out to replace yet another damaged coupler.
The bummer was, this lady came in Saturday to pick it up and set out on her adventure. They didn't get the replacement coupler in until 10:30 today, but I was ready to install it.
This was a 20' Basecamp model at $54,400, with state tax it's just south of 60 grand! Some of the trailers on their lot had stickers up to $200,000.00

Fusion Welding Schedule 10 304 Stainless Steel Requires Skill and Focus
One of my clients secured a larger shop and is in the process of moving his equipment to the new location. This doesn’t stop the need to stay on track on current projects.
This job is over 4,000 ft. of various sizes of Schedule 10 304 stainless steel piping and fittings. Here I am doing 'Fusion Welding' where the joints are welded (fused) together without the use of adding filler rod. This requires carefully controlled conditions where the heat (amps) and speed (travel) must be in perfect balance to allow the arc to penetrate the two seams to form an internal bead without blowing a hole or causing the joint to suck back and become concave. A positioner helps to control the rotation speed. These are 2 ½” and 3” Tee fittings that get a 1 ½” threaded fitting attached to them.
As you can see, there is much to do here and a lot of focused, careful, and precise welding.

F350 Ford Frame Repair with Full Penetration TIG Welding
Another Job Completed by Croz Metal Fabrication:
I got called to North Bay Truck to repair both sides of the frame on a F350. Apparently, this customer installed Airbags between the Leaf Spring mounts and overloaded the Receiver Hitch, breaking the frame on both sides directly above the Airbags. With creative rigging (see Forklift Rigging) we were able to tweak the frame back into place and using Tig and ER309 filler, performed a full penetration weld. Crisis averted.
