casualbiker Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Has anyone seen any lawn aerators here in Thailand. If yes! Where and how much. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo202 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Just go to the nearest metal working shop and ask them to knock you one up, it won't take long to make one of those. Never seen one in thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Just go to the nearest metal working shop and ask them to knock you one up, it won't take long to make one of those. Never seen one in thailand. Those are hollow tines, extracting earth before sand is swept in to improve drainage. Someone that had never seen one would have great difficulties making one correctly with the correct quality steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo202 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I don't think they would, I'm a sheet metal worker myself and I'd knock one of those up in a couple of hours. If I wanted one of those I'd go to the nearest steel stockists buy the steel I wanted, in your case I'd use stainless, cut it to length and take it to someone with a tig welder. Only a fool would have great difficulty in making one of those. If your struggling I'll make one for you myself and post it on to you, I'll guarantee it'll last you a lifetime.

leo202 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Tig is the best for that kind of work, the secret is keeping it cool, weld a couple of inch then give it a good blast with the airline, minimum distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Tamson Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 This thread is joke - right? A proper lawn aerator has spring loaded tines. Fabricate one up in a day using stainless steel ang TIG welds? Does he have a tent to control the atmosphere whilst welding? 316 SS? Is it going to be pickled after the welding is done? There is no such thing as true stainless steel Do an Internet search for an on-line purchase mate and avoid the TV trolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo202 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Why the <deleted> would you want to pickle a tig weld on a garden tool, why would you want a tent to control the atmosphere while welding 316 stainless? God I wish I had more photos of the work I do back in the uk. Most is government. Contracts and for the pharmaceutical industry, world wide might I add. We also do panic rooms that go out worldwide and ATMs. You my friend are talking <deleted>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leo202 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Just read it again, <deleted> brilliant, I'll have to get a tent and some pickling paste, we was using argoshield and an electric destainer, I'll have to tell my boss were doing it all wrong. Can you tell me what tent is the best to weld in and what pickling paste to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo202 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 To all fellow welders and fabricators out there, don't weld unless you do it in a tent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo202 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 When I'm back working next month and government busy body's come to check out our progress I'll mention the tent idea of yours, I'll let you know what they think about it. I won't mention the pickling paste as I'll probably get fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo202 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 A bit of a mistake in an earlier post, it's pureshield argon for the tig argoshield for the mig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
