Here we have a Suzuki motorcycle frame that our customer asked us to reinforce. We added to the structure to make this bike safer for racing! Don’t crash!
Spending some time tuning in a machine to weld aluminum soda cans! Coming up with a perfect program to weld such thin metal without blowing holes through it is a painstaking process!

Some interesting motorcycle parts came into the shop! This gas tank and fender are from a Jesse James motorcycle that the customer beat up pretty badly and brought in for repairs. We always love seeing the cool things that walk-ins bring!

We have some large projects that we are working on right now. Currently here at Jaytech we are in the final stages of installing a view port in a 1/4″ stainless steel door of a vacuum process chamber! This is just one of the many things keeping our hands and brains working hard!

We are assembling a jungle gym here at Jaytech today! We are putting the final touches on “the Condo” for a customer-a structure that can be moved around with a fork lift as needed, to provide storage and protection. This thing is big! Roughly 8ftx8ftx12ft-complete with a floor and a roof!

Today we put our new Lincoln Squarewave 200 Tig welder to task welding an aluminum soda can in AC mode! This is not easy, but with the right settings, very do-able. Settings are 30 amps, 75 balance, 150 frequency, #7 nozzle, and 18 CFH Argon. Of course, it’s done with our signature weave weld!

Last week here at Jaytech, we had an interesting project come through the shop doors! Terry got to work on a road maintenance cover for Topanga Underground, Inc. His job for this customer was to weld the name ” Edison” onto the diamond plate cover so that it could be identified! It’s a good thing Terry decided to become a welder instead of a doctor, his penmanship is too good!

Last week, Tory, the son of our fearless leader Terry Terzian, came back to Jaytech for the afternoon to work on some personal projects! He has been working on the rebuild of his beloved VW Beetle, Charlotte (all of us Terzians have a habit of naming our cars), and he used some of the skills he learned from his years of working here at Jaytech to bring his vision to life! In addition to welding up some stainless steel bent hardlines, he also used the PlasmaCAM to program and cut out a prototype template for his brake assembly! Smart guy!

This week here at Jaytech, we had some of the members of California State University at Northridge’s steel bridge building team! Each year, the engineering students in this club are responsible for designing and building a bridge made of steel. When new members begin, we love reaching out to the community and volunteering a little bit of our time and resources to help teach these bright students how
to weld so that they can put their own bridges together! Over the past few years, Jaytech has become one of the team’s trusted partners for welding instruction and advice. Here is a picture of some of the progress that these students made-and it is very good considering some of them have never even picked up a torch! This club at CSUN is part of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and it is very exciting to work with the future of this industry. We can’t wait to for them to return to work with them some more!

We are just getting finished with our most recent order of 897 JBL speaker array frames! This is the model we make the most often; thousands over the years if you can believe it! Here you can see the order in our shop, all clean and prepped for paint and labeling, along side a couple pictures of our frames in action!
