Do you get to make shit? Or just melt strips together?


Just weld strips together. Its good learning about the right techniques and stuff. But its not gonna help me weld up the one tonner like i was hoping.

Cut a heaps of 1.6mm strips of metal the other. Arvo at work and sat down and practised welding that. Boiler makers reckon i was doing good. So hopefully i can be as good when i try some 1mm stuff.


But all im interested in doing atm is boosting the RS around and snowboarding

You are doing fitter's course, Yeah??

 

The apprentice at work thats building my latest tray at the moment is doing such an awesome job. His welds are really awesome too!


Biggest thing with welding your tonner will be heat.

 

 

DON'T do long welds. Id actually try doing tacks basically the entire weld, moving to different parts, even giving it alot of cooling time. Because I've made plenty of heat related mistakes!

Sell...but I have no idea what they worth. I'll ask MarkCruisn.

Probably keep the Vent gauge at the moment, but may sell it later on when we get all the gauges mounted properly.

Gonna Sell the Brembo clearing Space Saver too, but you have no need for that. I'll see If Grant wants that :)

Yeah im a fitter.
Ive finished my trade course this is just an advanced welding course..

Yeah stitch welding, also helps to have some copper behind the metals to help absorb the heat not that you can do that in most spots i guess.
Also grant has a full sized sti spare i believe

I don't see the worth, when it only has the ej22 in it ATM. If I did a turbo conversion yea for sure I would do it.
