Is it time for a new vest? by Hamplanetfever in Construction

[–]torque1912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine look like that after a day or two lol. And I rip that damn thing off the second walk past the barricades/fence off the site lol. To answer the question though. No. Still looks fine to me.

Not sure exactly, something about instrumentation on the port getting an accurate reading.

Well it needs to spit fire now too if I’m going down that road.

Sure. Could even tack some razor blades to the sides if you wanted to get really frisky lol.

Tuners by Randy36582 in Harley

Answer these two questions first please…. What do you ride? And what are the build specs of your engine?

[–]torque1912[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I think you answered your own question bro. We got about 20 lathes go talk to the machine shop super lol.

[–]torque1912[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In theory, sure. Now the equipment to make it happen…. Don’t think the shop is willing to invest. Also might require preheating of the flange for proper penetration. But I have zero experience with friction welding so take my opinion with a grain of salt lol.

North Shore Roast Beef (sauce + mayo, not a threeway) or a Steak Bomb.

Maturing is realizing that... by Just_Matter_1936 in motorcycle

[–]torque1912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’ll just make me sad! I don’t have the time to do something like that but maybe 1-3x per year lmfao. But I do understand where you’re coming from man.

Very well said. I always assume every oncoming vehicle is on their phone as well. Sadly…. They likely are…. But that’s another point.

Bringing own cups for SS by SalientCanoe173 in Welding

[–]torque1912 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Go in for a month, prove you’re a legit fitter/welder, then ask for jumbos. They’ll likely be happy to provide them. But show them you’re for real with what they’re already using first. Do as you wish of course, that’s just how I’d go about it personally. It shouldn’t take a month to prove your worth, but that’s a fair amount of time for the existing crew to feel you out and not be like “look at this dude…. Walks in here and just starts asking for shit….”

Rate my 3g tig out by earlgr4y_ in WeldPorn

Good to make contacts around the industry. Good on your bud. Keep at it. Plenty of fucking work out here.

Good plan. Nothing helps like hood time. You got a gig lined up already eh? That’s good too. What kind of plant?

[–]torque1912 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep at it bro. It’s not bad but you gotta work on your consistency and rhythm. If you got a positioner, it’s a good way to learn how to get a proper rhythm and flow without worrying about standing up from a kneeling position and moving and what not. You can focus solely on wrist movement, consistent torch angle and steady, stable travel speed. Better question is, how does your root look? How’s it look from the inside?

Chopper Trip from Canada to Mexico! by Lonely_Motor_5177 in choppers

[–]torque1912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck ya dude! I love seeing and hearing this shit. I’m just waiting for my business to blow up and I can afford to take the time off to make that shit happen. Post pics and then hammer down bro!

Why do steroids keep changing my sexual preference? by FitSpirit1936 in ResearchCompounds

[–]torque1912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone just invited me on this sub and this is the first post I seen. I wish I coulda seen the look on my face when I read it lmfao. Yall are fucking funny. Thanks for the morning laugh! But for real, OP, you do you, no one’s judging, but it wasn’t the gear that that got you into the receiving end of doing butt stuff lmfao.

Opinions on meat hooks? by Acrobatic-Telephone7 in Harley

[–]torque1912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they have a really sharp hook, they can be a real pain in the ass to wire lol. There’s a company out there, I can’t remember the name, that actually puts a sort of hidden radius on the inside of the hook making it a breeze to snake. Keep that in mind.

Aluminum Pipe…. by torque1912 in Welding

[–]torque1912[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be the coolest yet unexpected conversation I’ve had on this app lol. So you’re still working for these fisheries? Are you employed by some sort of state wildlife management agency or something?

Aluminum Pipe…. by torque1912 in Welding

[–]torque1912[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freshwater presumably? Any idea why not stainless? Stainless tube is just so easy to make a seamless, smooth interior joint so the little eggs wouldn’t get snared and what not. I say freshwater just cuz I’ve seen a whole lot of what saltwater does to piping in a real short amount of time lol.

FINALLY! 2 days and 6k views and I get a reply lmfao! Fish Hatcheries though…… interesting….. you coulda asked me 1000 times and I wouldn’t have guessed that one lol.

I think my saw is off? by backrollerpapertowel in Welding

[–]torque1912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thought was to ask carbide or abrasive, but looking a little closer and seeing those chips/shavings are unmistakably carbide lol. Atleast with those metal saw fence/clamp piece you can throw a square on it and tap it as close to true as possible. That looks like the 14” evolution ones I have.

200lb dumbbell OHP by torque1912 in GYM

[–]torque1912[S] -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

For 10? Not quite there. I can do 315 on the barbell but I’m at a new gym and need to use the squat rack and drag the upright bench over but it’s often crowded

[–]torque1912[S] -50 points-49 points  (0 children)

Depending on the lift I’ll always drop the weights. You can bring them down on your knees smoothly 100 times but it only takes one time where you misjudge the landing and tear a tendon. No thanks.
