I've never observed any noise suppression by styrofoam. If anything it seems to make it worse. I don't understand why.

any reason for the different miter patterns?
looks cool though i must admit.
styrofoam (expanded) like you might find in a togo coffee cup
is mostly air which is a good conductor of sound.
to truly deaden you will need a dense material,
suspended between the inside and outside surfaces. even
better install a soft foam material inside surface to remove the echo
factor.
hope this makes some sense...lol

Yeah, I know there are better materials to use but this will do for now.

No reason for the miter pattern other than for the look. Just wanted to try it out on something even if it was overkill in this case :mrgreen:

Adds a lot of strength though compared to miter two and just drop down the third leg. Maybe stress relief is a better wording.

Come on Steve-your work is phenomenal and you know it. Your skill is amplified by the fact you do it all in weird places and posistions. So stop talking yourself down dang it!

None of that prevents me from having epic fails. We all do, at least once in a while. Some days, you're the hammer. Some days, you're the nail.

Well of course that's true Steve. That's just a part of life. Gotta have a screw up every once in awhile. All I'm saying is you don't give yourself enough credit(seems to be a theme with people in the trades...)

Not all People in the trades only the ones that care what they do and strive to be better. I see laziness all the time in my trade guys don't even what to learn why things do what they do they just want to swap parts out instead of fix issues. Its sad to see finding people that apply themselves is getting harder and harder

I was going more on the side of that people in the trades who are really good, don't give themselves enough credit for their work. Very humble people. I am sure that it is the case in most work environments.

I run a service truck for a union mechanical contractor. I agree 100%. But armed with that simple knowledge, a person willing to act on it will be putting themselves in a position to excel well beyond average. By doing so they will make sure they are not only employed long term but they will be "in demand". Those same people will also be paid $$$$$$ a premium for the work they do.
I have more questions than answers

Trust me you can live without a CNC plasma cutter for now. Don't need to get the wife to mad. If you wanted to get into custom signage or you need to cut a lot of similar parts and could make a decent check doing it-maybe then consider it.

Nice work Josh.
That's kinda my ideal favourite job. 3", fab up on stands, bolt it up and weld it in, beer. Life's good.
