I know you're a perfectionist. Show us how your scribed cut fits up to the boulder.

It's actually recessed into the boulder. Scribe line just had to follow the cut made by a concrete saw and a grinder with a diamond blade.

I was going to make a suggestion to get some of that all purpose rock rod and weld the sheets to the rocks,,,,,,

Back in the shop this week getting the last 60 feet of handrail ready.

Someone needs to invest in annular cutters

Boss sharpens drill bits, so I don't think that's gonna happen any time soon. I don't mind getting paid for the extra time. We don't do very much machine shop work.

I thought the handrail was a side job you picked up. If the hoss wants to sharpen bits, so be it.
Carry on!

I do have a side project coming up for a friend. Building 4 ft sides out of angle and expanded metal for his dump trailer and fixing some hinges he bent by not securing the tailgate when he dumped a load.

Started working on a COP (clean out of place) tank today. It's a mess. Lots to fix. Not often I use a multitool on metal.

Here's what it looks like when you don't realize your purge line isn't on:
Thankfully just a ferrule so it was easy to cut off and put a new one on. We were tying in a glycol line today, instead of working as a fitter/welder team boss let me do one of the lines by myself and he did the other one. It always gets interesting figuring out how to weld the piece together once all the fittings are on.

Finally finished the piping on the tank today. Only a couple patches, a drain, and a hanger left and it'll be done. A fun fit for the distribution end of the tank connections: 
Due to clearance, I had to freehand the inside of the final weld because it was too close to a 90 to fit the torch and my hand while walking:
The other end of the tank was a much easier connection:

Back at it on the handrail. The patio section we did last time has been painted and the stone is in (just waiting on grout). The concrete deck took us a fair bit longer to set posts on because it was so uneven. 4 tapcons on each post has those suckers anchored very well. There's also going to be a leveling pour so the bases of the posts will be covered. The trex posts have 4 timberloks through the double band and are also very sturdy, even when they weren't welded together.
We'll be back Monday to finish everything up, the stairs being the main time consumer left.

Bob, what exactly am I looking at? It seems to be precisely made, but I don't recognize the part
