Ya gotta practice and be ready!

admin

I love to practice and go outside the box and experiment. I got a job coming up gutting a exhaust system on a new motorcycle. I already separated one half and gonna do the other tomorrow. It's all 1/16th so I always like to be prepared. The point i'm getting at is always practice and always be prepared so not to screw up the actual job. 1/16 filler 50amps and 3/32 tung to a razor point, with a bunch of beer in me too, but only practice  Attached ImagesLast edited by weldermike; 06-13-2013 at 08:17 PM.I hate being bi-polar it's awsomeMy Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
Reply:Very nice and I totally agree.On a job I've never done, I'd rather practice an hour for a 5min job than fix a mistake Course I get rusty fast since I don't weld much anymore Dave J.Dave J.Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance. ~George Bernard Shaw~ Syncro 350Invertec v250-sThermal Arc 161 and 300MM210DialarcTried being normal once, didn't take....I think it was a Tuesday.
Reply:Thanks Dave! And 10/4 on what you just said. A little trial run always goes a long way. I tell people all the time, you dont wanna take the time to do it right, but youll find the time to do it over! I hate being bi-polar it's awsomeMy Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

Reply:I gotta special app that alerts me to this kinda stuff.  When I come in for a iced tea break, it makes the lights in the house blink on/off very rapidly.  Then I know it's time to check out WW to see what kind of stuff is goin on that needs immediate attention"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:Ran one more pass tonight just to tweak it a little more. 1/16 edge weld again. my eyes are still good but this is tiny stuff! Feel free guys to post some of your tiny welds here. I like bulky stuff as well, that's why i'm using such a big filler and tungsten. I would  rather work it and pedal it than do neurosurgery. Just me tho!  Attached ImagesI hate being bi-polar it's awsomeMy Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
