Dom?

[XJguy]

doncha wish you had more on me rich?

I know you really wanna blast me.

wouldn't it be great if you had more than your usual list, and a couple dead squirrels?

I thought the dead squirrels comment more than covered it all......besides its fairly fresh. The regular list is more than bad enough at any rate.

almost invisible seam.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To clarify the topic at hand, DOM and seamless are NOT the same thing. Seamless tube is not produced from a plate of steel that is rolled and welded. Seamless is formed from molten steel in a round die, there is no weld.

DOM often comes with a seam visible, but not raised, as in a standard HREW application. DOM is HREW that has simply been run over a die to smooth the inside surface. It has the added benefit of normalizing the wall thickness and aligning the grain structure of the metal a bit better, yielding a bit more strength (on the order of 10 -20% depending on application).

John, seriously Ill back you on this one, I have seen and used much DOM, and at times you can faintly see the seam, but its more of the exception than the rule.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so we're in agreement?

I'm talking like in some cases, TOTALLY seamless....sounds like all of XJ Guy's DOM has an intangible seam......or maybe he meant his cages?

I know what you meant, and I know what crash is saying....we're talking what we can SEE.....not what is.....I've had runs of DOM with NO VISIBLE seam,and some were it is barely apparant....I can actually post pictures of DOM i have on hand that show extremes.....even the color is different.

 

[MaXJohnson]

lighten up, Beezil.

for all you know, XJGuy may have read up on the subject and would therefore be quite knowledgable...

Isn't "molten" a cool word?

It even sounds liquidy.

Or does it sound liquidy because my brain knows it is liquidy?

Mooooolllllllltttttennnnn.

There's got to be a psycho-analyst on this forum that can help with that question.

There's so many other words too:

cavernous
mellow
spike
asshat.

Deep man, deep.

is this an excerpt from your new Broadway play: "The Penis Dialogs"?

If not, I'll assume it's a compliment. Thank you

you jackass, didn't anyone tell you not to piss in your own bathwater?

I was agreeing with you on the "seam" the whole time...

Whoa. Bad mental picture....Baldy and Fabio........

Who knows...

He may surprise us all with some "real world" hands-on experience. I heard he's working on a 4-point cage with some type of device on the top that will reduce the possibility of a roll-over by 85%.

I would like to see some DOM tubing with a seam, but it must be 1/2" dia. x 17.005' long on a rack four and 1/2" off the garage floor which has 3 coats of grey epoxy floor paint splattered with 6 1/2 different shades of pink florecent paint.

So use some pipe and get the heck on with it!

Next we can debate on how much preheating and postheating you need to do when changing your underwear!

Could someone tell me what "Go Jeeping" means???????????????????????????????
