Reply:I see by one of your other posts you're from N. Co.  I lived in Ft. Collins for about 10 years.  I've been gone from there for 12 years now and probably wouldn't recognize the place if I went back.  Where were these pics taken?  Looks like a cold nasty day there and probably plenty of wind to go along with the cold I bet!!
Reply:Fireline,How do you like working with that Mathey-Dearman pipecrawler for cutting pipe?  I have one where I work, and we've used it for cutting and beveling pipe.  Some of our bands are old and worn.  We have experienced troubles with the crawler slipping on the pipe at 3 and 9 o'clock.  Have you seen the same?  I've used ours with an OA torch and with a Miller plasma torch.  The Plasma is pretty sweet.  We have some issues with getting an even bevel because the weight of the cables/hoses pulls on the crawler enough to change the bevel angle.  We're still looking for a good solution to this problem.I thought the setup you used for leveling the pipe was clever.  Looks like you can get quite a bit of adjustment by sliding the cross beam up and down the sloped top of the stack of timbers.I assume you're welding downhill with XX10 filler.  Or are you all experimenting with anything new?Benson's Mobile Welding - Dayton, OH metro area - AWS Certified Welding Inspector
Reply:I just noticed the leveling setup.. That is a pretty good idea.Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
