Thread: '37 Oze build

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-----????

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

It seems to me, from one of his last posts, that he anticipated that by assigning members to his "Ignore List" nobody would be able to see anything that member posted to one of his threads. For example, by putting "RSpears" on his "Ignore List", no one would be able to see any of the responses I had posted on his build thread. 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....

I think MatthyJ tagged it,

Crikey!
I've thrown some good hissy-fits in my time; but this is the ultimate hissy-fit to end all hissy-fits.

Gotta laugh though...

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!
No excuses for that kind of behavior...... Sorry, just unacceptable.......

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.

The same generalization can be made of doctors, lawyers, teachers, mechanics, painters, machinists and any other profession or trade one cares to name. I fail to see how that statement adds anything to the conversation - except for a veiled slap at engineers. I'm done with this thread.

I guess that would wholly depend upon which category one falls in to or out of.

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 !!!

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.
