General welding questions that dont fit in TIG, MIG, Stick, or Certification etc.
My bad. I accidentally hit the private message button (didn't know that it would be a PM). Ment to say thanks guys in public insted of sending a Private one to Otto.

So...do you think he will take $350 for that couch?Cricket wrote:Interesting.... Technically the currency belongs to the state and any misuse of the banknotes or the coins is illegal and punishable. For example it is illegal to damage\melt\drill the coin.WerkSpace wrote:If you happen to have 300 hours of spare time, 7,000 American nickels
and the desire to make 35,000 welds, then you can make a nickel couch.
Obviously 7000 X $0.05=$350 isn't enough for the Treasury to bother...
I could pay for it with 7000 nickels so he could make another couch for himself(provided the coins are still legible and have not been defaced during construction)

I did an overhead butt weld at school that the teacher said was the worst weld he's ever seen.

Mick,
That's because your teacher never saw the weld I put on my broken bicycle at 5 years old with an old Lincoln tomstone with an 1/8" 6013 that half the flux was broken off. He would have had a whole new standard to judge welds by. It's a good thing everybody didn't have phones with cameras in them back then or my older brothers would still be showing everyone those pictures.

Although, mine was 20+ years old, 3rd year apprentice in a welding competition with about 6+years of stick welding practice. I just didn't "click" the 7016 o/h
when i moved to the jersey shore in 66 my then
boss loved to build equipment for work but he
couldn't weld worth a damn. his idea of welding
was to burn great amount of rod on the work
(giant pile of fido). then his buddy a retired
union guy would grind all the crap off and re-weld
it. he would refer to the old welds as "welding my weight"

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

That's a whole lot of nope right there. Those last two aren't finished yet, not ground flush with a flap wheel.

Yeah, calling that bird poop would be insulting to the birds.

Welding on LSD was an eye-opener. For a brief moment in time, I was Yoda, in touch with the force. Sensing the puddle; Seeing the scent of it; feeling the color, hearing the heat...

I am comforted by the fact that they took time to grind the mill scale off of the materials before attempting to .....uh..."weld" it, otherwise the filler wire would have not even stuck to the material.
What I'm scared of is that I may be meeting this vehicle on the highway one day....it's not a good idea to cut and weld the leafspring eyes.
