Reply:It accomplishes what art and sculpture are supposed to.  Take the essence of what you want to create and use your motivation to create the piece to let it take shape.  There is never a right or wrong with it, it either accomplishes what you intended or it doesn' t.  Sounds like you nailed this one. Good Job.www.somethingdifferentftw.blogspot.com

Reply:Well pics are so amateurish but what the heck, I can still see clearly your project and that is a good start, what is important is that you had fun and enjoyed welding it, then that's great, go go go go and continue doing some more, LOL, LOL
Reply:We have chains like that in our Harvestore silo unloaders. When the links start to wear, we replace the chain. Worn chains often have a lot of metal left, but risking a broken chain in the silo is often not worth the few extra hours of run time. Scrap prices for the chains go toward replacement costs.Lincoln Precision Tig 185Lincoln Power Mig 256Hypertherm PM 45Everlast 140STSmith O/A
