GH!!!! LOL!!! No kidding just said that last night to Joe. Got a design in my head. For a gyro-copter semi recumbent. Really want to do the floating/boat one as I would much rather crash to the Earth in a fire ball with a water cushion then just making a big brown spot on the ground, lolDan still needs to make his flying Motor Bike.
Yes mate exactly, this one would be my pic, but yes any of these spray on oils used on frypans for cooking work as good as the bought stuff (i.e store bought anti spatter spray)."RE: Mig tip spray...also anti spatter spray is a good idea and a great alternative to the store bought sprays is cooking oil sprays, works as good & smells a whole lot better than the store bought anti spatter sprays too...

That is awesome. You mean like "Pam"? I really like the home remedies. I use bacon grease on chains and rust.
Will do Hurricane. Think its more made bubbles (wtf) /attempted bead out of the inside of the emt connector thing. Dunno will look. I am hoping this is one of those deals were I am to dumb to know I can't do that so went ahead and did it, snork.Well thats a new one on me. But the welds look decent enough. Im just surprised it worked is all. do me a favor and give it a couple smacks with a hammer and let me know if it held or not.
Thanks Mac! Think I figured out why they ride some what different. The handle bars are not quite as wide and far back as some cruiser's bars. Sorta like a MTB and cruiser kind of feel to it. Like the 50s and 60s road bikes. Dunno. They are not that much shy of regular cruiser sized but your right, is a different feel then most cruisersDan,
Miked the seat down tube on the riverside, .054 or 1.37mm, just FYI.
Hey Tom. Yes and thanks for the heads up. Was told a few times here and via mail. Read the directions and be careful. My bad for not repeating it.I am real worried about that and take great care as Carol would kill me if I died. Had a door sized air inlet and an open garage door to vent. I worked from the upwind side. My mothers husband passed not that long ago from all sorts of not fun stuff including lung issues cased by welding for 40 yrs.Dan,
I'm surprised none of the more experienced guys have warned you about welding galvanized metals. The fumes are not nice and you need to avoid breathing them. EMT is typically always galvanized and you need to read up on this and take the proper precautions.
As for taking a couple of starter classes; that's good advice. It might save you money in the long run by saving on wasted consumables (wire, gas, etc) practicing. With that said, there is no subsitute for practice after you get the initial steps mastered. Good luck. Have fun and watch where those sparks land. You do not want to burn down the man cave.
Tom
DON"T even get me started on OSHA. I could go on for hours...Pretty sure you guys have seen this, but I'll put it up for the younger guys that might not.
The welding galvanized reminded me of it.
lol, ayup. 2 true.Another good chuckles from this thread,@ Civilized Ive worked at places where that sign was on a wall.
@Dan, just keep your head out of the smoke trail and welding small galvanized parts isnt going to kill you , at least not right away ..LOL
And to be honest that gal. to copper weldment you did is funny it did not fall off when wacked. Meh chalk it up to 'not knowing any better but still worked" kind of things ..lol
