    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    I've always been mesmerized by metal being worked, whether as "simple" as cutting with Oxy/Fuel, all the way to TIG welding or being precision machined. Welding and blacksmithing have long been up there on shit I wanted to better understand, so I'm currently a little past halfway through a...

    Remember that great video of HMMWVs plummeting to Earth...?

    Apparently it's not possible for our schools to be too godless for the "progressives"

    Any other Marines help me decipher this photo?

    Okay, so I clicked on this link about an E. Coli outbreak at MCRD San Diego, and there's a photo that claims to show recruits. The buildings are clearly from the MCRD, but there's at least 2 females in the group, varying degrees of haircuts, non-green skivy shirts with insignia, a fairly loose...

    Anyone else think the new interface is a bad idea?

    Let me preface this with the obvious acknowledgement that this is the HMFIC's house, and his show to do with as he pleases. That being said, with the increased arrival of SJW types to the forum does anyone else see the new "link" buttons as a recipe for disaster? Obviously someone with...

    A Pretty Unique Birthday Gift

    With our current economic status, my gf and I had agreed not to spend money we don't have on birthday gifts for each other (our bdays are about 10 days apart). She'd apparently gotten tired of me scratching my back against a wall corner like a bear, so she made me these on one of her 3D...
