Here at Jaytech we are right in the middle of production on a set of rigging corner blocks! A lot of work goes into assembling these bad boys. Here are a couple of pictures of blocks in the process of being put together, along side a completed block ready to make it’s way out the shop doors!
We have had a lot of cool projects coming in and out of our doors for the month of March! We have been working on a lot of jobs associated with air travel. We had our hands on a lot of stainless steel, working with plating and processing tanks for use in airbus jetliners as well as galley parts for Boeing 747 dreamliners! We also did welding on a steel engine trunnion for an airship and ordnance ground support parts for the Point Mugu Naval Air Station. Our work on the aluminum bridges for the orchestra walk at the Hollywood Bowl is three quarters of the way through. Another fun project we got to work on was hydraulic cylinder casings for handicap lifts. Last but not least, we assembled skeleton stands for use in museums, sold by a frequent customer company called Bones Clones! These are just some of the bigger projects that we have had in the shop, but of course we always cater to the small walk in repair jobs. Obviously we have been hard at work, but we always hope to be even busier and harder at work next month!

It’s tough to be a small business and try to keep up in the social media whirl-all I want to do is write one article with pictures and post to a few different sites. Instead, I have to try & decipher why my blog posting page isn’t set up correctly to do just that.

A small stainless steel tube welded to a bolt. Done by Haley, whose stainless steel skills are improving every day! This is a part for her brother’s car!

I think my aluminum skills are becoming noteworthy! Here is a weld in the corner of a JBL speaker array frame!

We just finished 6 inch spacers for Kish Rigging in Moorpark, California. Terry is busy laying down some beautiful aluminum welds!

These new corner blocks are for our good friends at Knott’s Berry Farm.

This is test fixture that needs to be as light as possible. The thicknesses range from 5/8″ to 1″ thick. All butt welds had a generous bevel. Start to finish was some 18 to 20 hours of welding, and 2 lbs of very expensive magnesium filler.
Very nice material to weld, all things considered.

Another set of corners shipped out. Lots of alum welding. Getting inside is a chore for big hands.

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo students in the Surfrider Club used our plasma cutter to make these aluminum boxes for cigarette butts at the beach.
