  Meyer Tool recently completed the welding of the liquid helium pressure vessel jackets around ten (10) superconducting single spoke niobium cavities for Fermilab. The SSR1 cavities are intended for use in the PIP-II Injector Experiment Cryomodule. Meyer Tool's scope of supply included review of the Fermilab Pressure Rating Analysis Document and the development of fabrication details and a fabrication sequence to meet that document's requirements, while minimizing the effects of jacketing cavity frequency, and the actual jacketing of the cavities. This paper will focus on the development of the fabrication details and sequence and how the details and sequence evolved over the course of welding and final machining of the ten (10) jackets. As the frequency of these cavities is critical the fabrication sequence accommodated numerous in process frequency checks, a frequency tuning step prior to the final weld, the use of thermal cameras to monitor weld heat input into the cavity, and post welding final machining of critical features. Lessons learned from this fabrication will be discussed.
