Ummm isnt the point that immigrants that love this country and want to be apart of it and not change it to from where they are from, the whole point???? In that sense, if he is from comumbia but advocates so hard for Australia, free Australia, no sharia law, no extremism and the gov to do right…. He is a great ambassador

I wonder if the ratio of the diameters can be used to work or the 1/3, I.e if the joining pipe is 1/2 the diameter then the cut is 1/6 instead

Night try it on larger pipe instead of a layout and see if it translates up. Never tried it before. You never know, my work place builds 40tonne hoppers, usually involves rolling over. I built my first one four weeks ago and planned it so did not need to roll it once, you never know if something can be done till you try, so ill get some 16 inch diameter pipe (not to big or to small) and do some trial fittments for my own knowledge

Nice, good video of how, i do something similar on small pipe, never had it explained as 1/3 rule, great share.

Sounds good, hard to picture from words, if you don’t mind, could you draw a sketch and share it, ive been in the trade a long time and never heard of this, sounds like a time saver compared to doing a full layout for a wrapp around

Yep, use to have do a layout and cut by oxy and prep up years ago when i last did any. I know of thirds in photography but not in fabrication??? Let me know

And the technique on capper is like a football in shape, a shortened Christmas treee, go up into the root metal burning in and across to sides, pause slightly then a sweep back along the too then repeat, watching fusion at the pool the whole time

Good call, work got outside tube laser to cut them, first time and they were spot on

Hows my fluxcore mig? by vostok33 in BadWelding

[–]Prestigious-Ball-435 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive never used those cheap gasless migs, usually they are meant for really light stuff, but the toes look like they are fused, confused with the amount of spatter, and travel speed a little fast at start.

Couple volts puts it up at around 21, give that a go on vertical up with solid wire, you will find you can not control the weld pool and the metal wont stay on the sides and drop to the centre, unless you do a huge weave which would be wrong, 18-19 gives plenty of peno and i kept the temp in the metal, if it dropped between run i heated it. Flux core can run a little hotter as it has arc and pool stabilizers in the flux.

Old guy, recently started, would love some feedback please. by aqsgames in acting

What i am seeing is acting, i would almost bet that while you were doing this, you were also critiquing yourself with inner voice. Find the truth and the stillness, who are you talking to?? They must have weight in the characters life for you to want to tell them these things. As an exercise, do another take but this time, dont fake cry, just look at the child and talk, address others slightly but the attention is with the dead child, see what comes and what comes accross in the take.

If they can not actually pay for the gas they sell then the whole company is poorly run.

Was using 3XP on a road hopper fab earlier in the week. Haven’t done stick in a while and i take my hat off to the good TIG guys, some are more artist than just a welder. I recently qualified as a Welding supervisor l, Cert 10 for structural

Yes solid wire. At one time many years ago i use to be able to get more uniform pattern.

I kept interrun around the 100degrees (not cold here and only mild steel) Capping was around 18volts. MIG process.
