After the model of Coming About was finished and the aluminum was waterjet cut, it was time for the welding.

The fabrication was done at Fox Welding in Marina CA. I have worked with Jon Fox and his team with my other Stabiles and they were really helpful. They did the welding for Blue Rondo, Aeolus and a medium version of Aviator. They have all the tools and skills necessary for this kind of work and then some! On the photos you can see Sean TIG welding T-joint weld “stitches” at intervals along the seams of contact of the parts. We worked together and while he attended to other tasks, I placed the parts into position for the welds.

The next post will have photos of the painted Coming About and the installation.
