Don't bother getting it tested until you learn how to do it--------one of the beautys about tig welding is that you can mininize the haz instead of broadening and deeping it-a proper fitted joint can be welded with the proper depth penatration without going back over it to do more-----????
Did I miss something here, the thread seems to full of deleted stuff :confused:

You missed something. Dave got tired of the direction of some of the responses and bailed.Quote:

When he figured out that by choosing to ignore "RSpears" the only change was that HE didn't get to see what I posted, but everyone else would still read everything I posted, he elected to delete most of his posts, apparently feeling that it would put him in a better light than having his posts visible. To each his own, I suppose....Quote:

Jack, I hope you don't think i was negative or abusive towards him? Because I was down right angry. He claimed to be a mechanical engineer, yet professed and proceeded with very questionable practices. As a mechanic engineer he has a moral and professional duty to protect the public. In no ones book could you call jumping up and down on the front of the frame a true test of a weld's strength. And that raised my anger level, to think someone might unknowing believe him and get hurt because of it. And just so he could further his ego!Quote:

IMHO, it appears that common sense went out the window. In my 40+ years in the manufacturing sector I've witnessed many "engineers" that couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time and I've worked with some that were absolutely brilliant.
You asked why all of the "stuff" was deleted, and I answered the question. It was just a simple answer to a simple question with no judgment of anyone intended.Quote:

Come on Guys!! This is a Hot Rod Forum not grade school playground!! Just because I'm always write don't get mad!! Pete
From what I could actually see the whole build looked to be questionable, unfortunately things were getting deleted as I was viewing which wasn't making much sense to me.
Unfortunately you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink i'm afraid !!!

learn more and more about less and less and someday you'll know everything about nothing------- defination of graduate engineer
Out of here as well.
So this is where we are now? Making jokes about a profession that requires not only a college degree, but also passing a proficiency test in order to use the title "engineer". I'm also backing away from this one.Quote:
