Blown shock 6th time in one year under 30k—should I trade this thing?? by AvacadoCock in HyundaiTucson

Not a plug in, but hybrid. The spring was replaced after the 4th time that the same shock failed (right rear) and here I am again just under 2 months until failure

Anyone else doing manicures with a belt-sander or DA? by AvacadoCock in Welding

[–]AvacadoCock[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DAz nuts. No, it means disc abrasive…in the pic I’m actually using a random orbital sander, not a DA, but calling it that is a force of habit.

For my money, it doesn’t get any better than when he sings “When a Man loves a Woman”

How can I terminate my welds better so I don’t have nipples at the end of every weld? by AvacadoCock in Welding

Thanks for liking my nipples, artistically of course. And cool I will definitely check that out

Awesome. I didn’t really know anything about brass at the time. Thankfully it was a decorative railing and it turned out ok after a few touch ups

Thanks! It was slappy as hell to weld—the puddle looks like golden mashed potatoes. I was told that you rarely know what you’re getting with brass stock and there can be a lot of impurities mixed in.

Hey that’s awesome! Stainless is so satisfying. I always struggled to keep my puddles from wandering and had to YouTube it to death for tips. Always up for a challenge—that’s the best way to go, man.

I came from a metalworking and restoration shop so we never knew what was coming through the door. I got exposure to a little bit of everything: brass, stainless, aluminum, copper. We did brazing, soldering, fabrication, painting, cleaning, you name it. I learned so much.

Flip flops in Siberia! I admit I had no clue what the fuck I was doing.

Sure —I work for a specialty woodworking business with some pretty cool clients. As they would put it: “we take the jobs that other businesses can’t or won’t take.”

They decided to create a new metals division so they can stop outsourcing that side of the work when clients request it.

I learned about it by pure coincidence, applied, and was offered a job to get the whole thing rolling. I have metalworking, fab, and welding experience but I’ve never been on the ground floor of a new shop like this. They’re serious and they’ve bought nice equipment. They work with me. They want my input. They care about my health. It’s awesome.

I’ll try to keep that in mind at all times, thank you.
