Anything welding

Brilliant, I’ll take all the pieces everyone cuts off, and weld them in the middle of mine. Reduce, reuse, recycle.

 

An 8' 10mm wrench! Imagine the torque...

 

But only if they’re rusty of course. Natures loctite.

 

Reduce

 

Long time no action.


Got rusty, gotta keep practicing.

 

Fire pit?

 

Much better, always room for improvement.

 

Affirmative

 

Some more.

 

Our pipefitters have made some interesting wrenches for doing flanges. Welding two or three together with funky angles to them, cutting one short, doing an angle, welding longer ones one, and stuff like that. But kind of have to when trying to get a fastener to 150+ ft-lb and a normal wrench will only give ya 1" of swing lol.

Then again our last flange I had to cover they broke two 1/2" drive ratchets. One stripped the pawls and the other actually sheared the anvil portion which was a first I'd seen (on a 1/2")

 

What's the right way to cut 1" x 2" rect tube in this shape?

And by right, I mean, if I was a fab shop, how would I do it? Or if I ordered 1000 of these from someone, how would they do it?

 

@turbodb A lot depends on your required accuracy and finish. I've been away from the fab business for awhile but would think a wire EDM might be a good fit. Or possibly a CNC machining center. You should have an endless line of possibilities in/around your area. Might want to look for smaller shops.

I'll let someone else ask! John M

 

Not when you can buy a short one cheaper than ruining a good one

 

Practice practice practice

 

That made my week as I see most all these things far to often

 

I grabbed some flat stock today so I can make myself some welding coupons. Going to cut it to size tomorrow before I get ready for my prom.

That's funny, mans got some practice.

 

Cut the end off the gas shield so I could get a shorter stick out.
And started a rocket stove.
