    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    I started last week learning Mig pipe at a buddy's Fire Protection business. His welder is of the "hot and fast" school doing production pipe welding, but compared to FCAW, mig is still cold and slow by comparison (at least to me). Most of our shipyards have gone flux core purely for heat and...

    Tell me about Tampa

    Thanks man, but the joy I found being a shitty fisherman most of my life is that I don't judge a day on the water by what I catch. And who wants to clean fish after every trip anyway?

    Tell me about Tampa

    Man, if you have the chance to get out on the water with @Mike Casselton DO IT!!!! Whether you catch or not it's still a fantastic day fishing with a great guy and guru of the local waters. I've never had a day of fishing like it, and we didn't even boat anything worth keeping. For round...

    Damn, nice pickup on the lathe.

    True enough, but having been around a lot of trades, I'm still humbled by the willingness of welders to spend a few minutes or hours of their valuable time answering dumb questions or tolerating an absolute rookie looking over their shoulder.

    I've already resigned myself to the fact that momma will be a much better Tig welder than me. We'd planned to go to a Pipefitting course together, but as things look now I may go ahead of her. She'll end up being better than me at that too

    So I finally finished my welding "school" if you can call it that. It was a huge disappointment, but a CWI from Lincoln came in on the last night to bend test a 3G Stick and Flux Core plate from each of us. I've now got two achievements behind me that every welder should have: I passed a...

    2 guys with an old "push to you, pull to me" crosscut saw could do it quietly, minus all the cursing

    Very cool, when it arrives a few simple things will tell you what condition it's in: pull the muffler and look in the case to see if the piston is scored, and put a compression meter on it. What liberal hellhole requires a permit and tags to harvest firewood?

    So how many additional violations did you have to commit while banned to receive Moderator as the punishment? (Asking for a friend)

    Welp, IIRC @Tucker301 returned from a ban as a Moderator, so y'all may need to watch out

    Wild in the Streets in South Philly

    A guy I policed with in South Louisiana in the 90's had a custom stick made from Cocobola wood, with a narrower barrel on it in the general contour of a Katana. That thing was fucking devastating, and this was when PR24's were still around and it was common practice to throw a D-Cell battery...

    TSA experts. A question.

    When I was over there we had letters from our employer with the relevant DoD info explaining that we worked with explosives and may test positive, etc. There was a list of people to call and we were to cooperate fully and all that jazz. I made it a point to travel with "sterile" bags, and...

    Question: How Dumb Are Aggies? ... Answer: Oh, My God, I Lack the Words ...

    It's not that big of a deal. We'd go night swimming (and beer drinking) in the Bayous and be literally surrounded by curious gators. Our general rule was anything bigger than 8ft had the right of way and we'd leave the water. Bull alligators are totally different animals than their smaller...

    Peegasms, the Next Big Thing...

    Well damn, I had something else in mind when I saw the title: I had a buddy in the Marine Corps 20 years ago that told us a story of banging his old lady and needing to piss like a mofo. So he finishes off with a combo regular hard-on and piss hard-on. After he came he pissed inside his old...

    Thanks man. I've drooled over that unit for a while now. A CC/CV machine is definitely on the wish list, we use the Miller 350 or Lincoln 335 at school and they'll spoil you

    Thanks man, I appreciate it. I have a project or two coming up that I think I'd like to keep the steel "bright" after it's done, but didn't know what coating or treatment worked.

    NOLA Shooting

    Mardi Gras actually derives from Catholicism and the last big throwdown before the start of Lent (Fat Tuesday is always the day before Ash Wednesday). Voodoo and the related practices basically only exist as a tourist thing, deriving long ago from the slaves and now relegated to trinket...
