February 16th 2004...in this picture, Julio is in the Boiler welding
the Crownsheet Patch.. |
|
 |
February 17th 2004, Marvin Jr. running the Magnetic Drill, he is
drilling the pilot holes for the Staybolt holes. |
|
 |
Julio had to weld thru a roll of Staybolts.. and could only use
about a half of a rod, cause that was the only way he could reach.. |
|
 |
In this Picture you can see the arc of weld penetrating from the top
of the Crownsheet to the bottom, just shows how well the penetration
in the weld was!!! |
|
 |
In this Picture you can see one of the Taps we used to make new
threads for the Staybolts... you can see the Measurements of the
Staybolts, these were 15/16 inch staybolt threads... February 17th
2004. |
|
 |
This is one of the Taps, you can see it is consist of three pieces..
the first piece is machined and guides the Tap, the second is the
actual Tap and the third is the machined piece to allow us to drive
the Tap. |
|
 |
This a close up shot of the Drill and its Pilot Bit... what helps is
the Drill has a magnetic base and when activated, it actually holds
itself to the metal during drilling. February 17th 2004. |

February 18th 2004. Here is some more of Julio's welding... Thats
Art Buddy!!!! The Arch Brick in the firebox actually rides against
the Firebox and had worn a little..so Julio did a little fill in
welding on the wear spot. |
|
 |
In this Picture you can see the Big Patch in the firebox, it has
been welded in and has been ground down to check for any problems..
the welds were perfect and now you can see the new Staybolts holes
coming into place. After all that work, the firebox sheets are solid
again!!! February 18th 2004. |
|
 |
In this Picture you can see the First Pilot holes drilled for the
Staybolts... the blue paint is a Scribe Paint that allowed us to
measure and mark the exact hole locations! |
